With just under a week before Bloober Team’s psychological horror video game, The Medium is released, the company has released the requirements needed to play via the PC.
In the Medium, you’ll play as Marianne, a medium who has the ability to travel into the spirit realm. An ability that will come in handy and is heavy utilized to solve puzzles and avoid dangers. While I haven’t had a chance to play the game, it looks to draw cues from the Silent Hill series from what I’ve seen.
As for specs, the game follows the current trend of listing multiple settings, including Ray Tracing, should you have access to an RTX graphics card. You’ll also notice that the default frames per second are listed at 30. Before you get all bent out of shape because there’s no 60 frames per second mentioned in the specs or screenshots, the option to enable it is in the game.
