Crucible is one of two games that Amazon Game Studios is preparing for release. Developed by Relentless Studios, it is a free-to-play, 6v6, PvP, team-based style shooter. Based on the planet Crucible, it will feature choice-driven gameplay. Crucible has ten hunters each with their own unique abilities. All hunters begin the game with all their weapons and abilities. At the beginning of each match, players can choose which upgrades become available upon leveling up. Players will then endeavor to collect “essence.” Essence is obtained by killing opponents, creatures, or achieving objectives.
Crucible is a free-to-play team-based action shooter where your gameplay is defined by the choices you make. Pick a hunter and join a match. You’ll need to coordinate with your teammates, take advantage of your hunter’s unique upgrades as you level up, and adapt to the ever-changing conditions of battle.

As you can see by both sets of specs, the game does not seem to be overly demanding on hardware. As long as the game is properly optimized, most modern PCs should be able to handle it with ease. Back in July 2019, Amazon Game Studios announced layoffs and cancellations in order to focus on Crucible and New World. Both games are expected to launch this month. Crucible will launch on Steam on May 20th and features in-game purchases.
