Everything You Need to Know: System Requirements and Unlock Times for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Hey, so I stumbled into this wild new realm of gaming — yeah, it’s called Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Can’t lie, the name makes me think of birds having a bad hair day. Anyway, it’s the next big thing if you’re into games that make you want to chuck your controller at the wall. It’s from this Chinese crew, Leenzee, set during the Ming Dynasty, which, oddly enough, I keep confusing with noodles — but I digress.

Every time someone peeks at this game, they’re like, “Wow, that’s cool.” Seriously, it’s gotten a warm reception so far, and we’re inching closer to the grand spectacle of its la-di-da launch. The devs spilled some beans lately. About time, right?

Okay, so mark your calendar — July 24 is the magic day for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Also, it’s sneaking into Game Pass on PC and Xbox from day one. Fancy, eh? Now, here comes the kicker — what kind of beast do you need in your PC to run this thing? They’ve been kind of mum about it, until now.

Wuchang looks stellar but not like, crazy state-of-the-art, blinding-your-eyes good. Think Black Myth: Wukong, but maybe toned down a smidge — so your computer probably won’t burst into flames. Today, bam, they dropped the specs bomb. And let me tell you, it’s not too shabby.

They tossed us two setups: one for mere mortals (minimum) and one if you breathe digital fire (recommended). But they didn’t really say how smooth your game’s gonna run. Guess we’ll find out? Both setups have to run with DLSS/FSR, whatever that means (I’m just nodding along here).

Yet those specs are like your friendly neighborhood computer specs, so you’ll get the gist of what you’re in for. Anyway — wait, no — going off track… right, the specs.

Minimum Specs

• OS: Windows 10 (64bit)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600
• RAM: 16GB (dual channel) — and don’t ask me why this is important
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB
• DirectX: 12
• Storage: 60GB (phew, lucky it’s not 100!)
• HDD Supported – but SSD is better, they say.

Recommended Specs

• OS: Windows 10/11 (64bit)
• CPU: Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 5 5500
• RAM: Same 16GB
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A750
• DirectX: 12
• Storage: Same 60GB

Oh, they shared all the times for when the game kicks off, according to where your global butt is parked. Dive into this:

• Los Angeles: July 23, 7pm
• Chicago: July 23, 9pm

• Tokyo: July 24, 11am
• Sydney: July 24, 12pm

And… wait, what was I saying before? Ah yes, patience is a virtue in global game drops. So there, folks, polish those specs or just… I dunno, pray to the tech gods? Good luck!
