Hazelight Studios has revealed the Split Fiction PC requirements, and from what has been released, they are incredibly reasonable, in both the minimum requirements and the recommended requirements. This announcement has been posted on Steam in the events tab, where it dives into Split Fiction being Steam Deck Verified from the outset, as well as its PC requirements and having Steam Native support. In Hazelight's previous post, it spoke about cross-play being available, as well as the tried and true Friend's Pass being back and available for Split Fiction, too.
"We have worked tirelessly to ensure the game will be optimized on launch, completing hours and hours of performance and compatibility testing with the goal of making sure that the game will run as smoothly as possible, even on PC's configured at the game's listed minimum system requirements," said Hazelight Studios.
Along with the PC's system requirements, the post also announced that Split Fiction will be receiving Ultrawide Resolution Support from the outset, with support for 21:9 and 32:9 resolutions.
