Metal Gear Survive, the new zombie-infested take on the classic series, arrives in less than a month, and Konami has revealed the game's PC system requirements. There’s a lot of skepticism surrounding Metal Gear Survive, but, on the bright side, you won’t have to upgrade your computer to play it. The minimum requirements are very modest, and even the recommended rig is nothing to sweat over. Check them out, below.

Metal Gear Survive is basically running on the exact same engine as 2015’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
For those who haven’t been keeping up, Metal Gear Survive is the first game in the series following Hideo Kojima’s ugly split with Konami. Here’s the publisher’s official description of the game:
“Metal Gear Survive picks up from the ending of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Players are pulled through a wormhole and find themselves in a dangerous world filled with biological threats and hostile environments where they must survive and find their way home. Not only will they fight off deadly creatures, but also explore and forage the environment for food, water and other resources to stay alive.”
Metal Gear Survive roughs it on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on February 20.
