Techland appear to be learning lessons from other developers, with the announced specifications for Dying Light: The Beast being surprisingly light.
Seems like if their specifications listed actually match up to reality, that getting 60FPS at 1440p is going to be reasonably easy for a lot of gamers which is good news. Going by the absolute minimum listed, we might even see 30FPS on handhelds like the Steam Deck for this one given the lower resolution.
They also just released a new trailer to showcase the journey of the protagonist Kyle Crane which you can view below:

Are you going to be picking it up at release? Hopefully it works well with Valve's Proton.

Those specs don't look especially light to me. Games companies would be foolish to only support high-end GPUs in today's economic climate, where people are struggling financially and expensive graphics cards are very much unnecessary luxuries. The developers would miss out on sales, because not enough people would have high enough specs.

1080p/30FPS low to 1440p/60FPS medium is such a high jump.
Also leaves out stuff like 1080p at high settings.
I think spec sheets like that should focus on one resolution (either 1080p or 1440p) and mention a recommended GPU for other resolutions.
Also yikes at the 60FPS with frame generation mention.

My setup seems to be bit lopsided. CPU is just bit different variant for the minimum specs. GPU is somewhere in the recommended range. I have some extra GPU memory and system memory hits the the high requirement.
Though I know I won't be playing in 4K as I have 2K monitor.
Maybe no need to update the computer just yet, but maybe in year or two. I don't play lot of AAA games anyway.

"4K" is 2160p; what are you calling "2K"? 1440p?

Exactly that. Though looking at Wikipedia, it's practically 2.5K. Must have remembered 2K from some old marketing material or something.
