Helldivers 2 system requirements and compatible PCs

Helldivers 2 Minimum Requirements

For 1080p at 30FPS with Graphics on Low:

• Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 470
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Storage: 100 GB available space

To get Helldivers 2 up and running at 1080p resolution, with graphical settings on low but hitting a decent 30 FPS, PlayStation Studios says you don't need a particularly powerful PC. 

These specs are very typical of a lot of modern releases. Both the CPU and GPU options are a good few generations old now so most gaming PCs made within the last 8 or so years should be able to handle getting the game up and running. 

One area your system may be lacking, however, is having 100GB of storage space. When playing a fast-paced shooter, you need fast loading and render times, so consider upgrading your system with an SSD, even if it's a relatively small one.

If your PC just meets these specifications, however, you will need to be content with the lowest settings. You’ll only be able to play at around 1080p at 30 FPS with pretty much all the settings on low, which is fine if you’re playing on a small monitor, but if you’re trying to play on a larger monitor or even a TV, it’s not going to look great.

What do you need to play Helldivers 2 at 1440p?

For 1440p at 60FPS with Graphics on High:

• Processor: Intel Core i5-12600K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Storage: 100 GB available space

To enjoy a game like Helldivers 2 at 1440p, all while having graphical settings on high, these are the specs PlayStation Studios say your system will need to meet.

Like the other requirement lists, these components are also not of the most current generation. So, to hit these specs without spending money on out-of-date parts, consider a system like the Chilblast Evolution Intel Core i5 RTX 4070 Gaming PC.

This Chillblast PC features the Intel Core i5 14500 processor, which offers excellent gaming performance and multitasking capabilities. Paired with the Nvidia RTX 4070, you can expect smooth gameplay at 1440p at high settings in most games.

Plus, with full support for DLSS, it can drive up frame rates in supported games even more, and it even has some impressive ray-tracing support in compatible games. It even comes with a 1TB SSD which is ample room for your game library, plus a solid 16GB of high-speed memory.

What do you need to play Helldivers 2 at 4K?

For 4K at 60FPS with Graphics on Very High:

• Processor: Intel Core i5-12600K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Storage: 100 GB available space

If you have the budget and want to enjoy intergalactic fighting at a glistening 4K with graphics settings at Very High, then you’ll need a decent PC to do so. The one we suggest is the Onyx AMD Ryzen 7 RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC.

It combines a top-tier gaming processor with one of the top graphics cards for a high-performance gaming PC that can do absolutely anything and everything.

The AMD Ryzen 7700X is a super-powered gaming processor that pairs perfectly with 32GB of high-speed DDR5 memory, and 2TB of PCIe 4 SSD storage for the most responsive gaming experience. It’s also ready for future games with Direct Storage support for even faster game load times.

To power that 4K experience, however, we need a powerful GPU and in the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super we have the perfect solution. It’s one of the most powerful graphics cards Nvidia has ever made and it will find playing Helldivers 2 at 4K an absolute cakewalk.

With full support for DLSS, it can drive up frame rates in supported games even more, and it even has some impressive ray tracing support in compatible games such as this. Plus, its 16GB of VRAM makes it future-proofed against any advances in gaming technology in the years to come.
