At the start of the game, the graphics quality will be automatically adjusted based on your PC’s specifications. You can manually change or enhance the graphics settings if desired. However, for PCs that meet only the minimum requirements and have less than 8 GB of system memory or 6 GB of video memory, the graphics quality will be locked to ‘Low’ for optimal performance.
