What we cover here
A new game's official requirements drop. A patch changes what a game actually needs. A GPU launch or price move changes which upgrade makes sense. If it changes what you should check or buy, it's here, sourced and dated, same Confirmed/Estimated labeling as the rest of the site. See our GameReady Methodology for how that works.
