PC requirements summary
Alan Wake 2 should be read as a response-first PC requirements page. The important target is the setup that keeps matches readable, not just the machine that launches the game.

Optimization read
Alan Wake 2 is the kind of shooter where responsiveness gets expensive faster than the bare requirements suggest.

- Resolution and preset jumps cost performance quickly, so GPU headroom matters more than the minimum first suggests.
- The collected rows point to a cleaner response story than a game where headline FPS constantly outruns the feel.
- Playable performance starts higher up the GPU stack than the first official floor might imply.
