Minimum requirements
Meets minimum requirements
Recommended requirements: not rated yet
The publisher lists Feature-level-only requirement (DirectX / OpenGL / memory size, no chip named) (tier 1); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 1. GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc Graphics: PASS. Intel Arc Graphics is tier 2; the requirement is tier 1.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
