Blackbird Interactive has published the PC requirements for Homeworld 3, revealing that its new real-time strategy game will require at least an Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon R9 480, or Intel Arc A380 GPU to play.
Those with more powerful hardware will be able to experience the game with ray tracing, which is available under three presets, including an Epic option for the highest visual quality:
According to a post from Blackbird, Homeworld 3 will also support some of NVIDIA’s latest technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS 3 and its Frame Generation component, which should help ensure higher frame rates for those with the supported hardware.
The game will also feature HDR and support for AMD FSR 2, although there doesn’t seem to be any indication yet as to when/if FSR 3 will be added:
Homeworld 3 players can enable Ray Tracing for soft shadows with contact hardening, as well as HDR (High-Dynamic Range) for unlocking even higher fidelity. DLSS3 and Frame Generation are featured in Homeworld 3 for compatible NVIDIA graphics card, as well as AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2. Finally, Homeworld 3 officially supports the Intel ARC series of graphics cards.
Homeworld 3 is a stunning game, best experienced with the latest graphics card and drivers for full immersion; however, as you can see, players with older components can still dive into the next chapter of this GOTY-winning sci-fi strategy series. Whether you’re playing in 1080p or cranking the visuals up to 2160p, it’s our hope that Homeworld 3 can be enjoyed by players across a wide range of hardware configurations.
Homeworld 3 is scheduled for release in February 2024, and prospective players can wishlist the game now on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
