Resident Evil 2 remake seems to be coming along very nicely, with its January 2019 release date fast approaching. Now, thanks to Nvidia, we can see just how good the game will look on a beefy PC, running in 4K at 60 FPS (otherwise known as "living the dream").

Hot on the heels of yesterday's reveals of William and Sherry Birkin in Claire's campaign, comes our first look at the PC version of Resident Evil 2 remake. It's fair to say that it's looking very nice, indeed.

The recommended PC system requirements for Resident Evil 2 on PC are fairly modest these days, with the popular GTX 1060 GPU and an i7-3770 CPU top of the list. To run Capcom's impressive looking remake in 4K at 60 FPS, though, you'll need something even beefier. Nvidia and Capcom haven't detailed the PC the gameplay footage above was captured on, but you're probably looking at a GTX 1080 or one of the new Geforce RTX cards.

Resident Evil 2 is releasing for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 25, 2019. You can get more info in our Resident Evil 2 guide.

Tom started life on a circus in Australia before his family moved to the UK. His love of gaming started soon after, which essentially meant he bought every video game magazine available and worked numerous part-time jobs as a child in order to afford costly N64 games. He created UK site VideoGamer.com, of which he was the Editor for over a decade. He now doesn't like circuses.
