"Steam Introduces New System Requirements Tier"
Steam is testing a new ultra tier of system requirements, starting with the game Portal with RTX, to provide gamers with hardware expectations for running games at the highest settings and achieving solid frame rates. This move raises questions about why more developers don't reveal high-level system requirements before a game's release, with late-stage optimization and the lack of information on hardware needs for top graphics settings being key factors. While this may signal a shift in system requirement transparency, it's possible that the ultra specs will only feature on specific re-releases.
