Rare has just revealed the system requirements for Sea of Thieves with a nifty chart that covers both the low-end “Cursed” settings, and the super high end “Mythical” specs.
Gamers with integrated GPUs will probably have to settle for the former, which lowers the resolution to a veritably old-school 540p (at 30fps), while beastly rigs equipped with the latest and greatest monsters on Nvidia/AMD’s arsenal will be able to bump up the resolution to 4k and enjoy a buttery smooth sixty frames per second refresh rate.
