Distinguish official requirements and device-specific instructions from player reports. Start with your installed Windows version, GPU capabilities and Steam installation, then choose the article that matches the failure. Hardware thresholds here are retained from the existing Japanese official-source review; recheck the current listing before purchasing.
If the game will not start
Try one change at a time and test the game afterward, so you can see whether it helped.
- 1Check that the GPU supports hardware ray tracing; do not infer support from its memory capacity alone.
- 2Compare the reviewed minimum requirement for Windows 11 with the current official listing.
- 3Check that the installation uses an SSD and compare available capacity with the reviewed 150 GB requirement.
- 4Apply an appropriate GPU driver update and verify the Steam files, then repeat the same launch or device test.
