Bethesda revealed that "Wolfenstein Youngblood" will launch a day earlier for the PC platform globally, on July 25. Console platforms PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch get the game on July 26. This prioritization of the PC platform is symbolic and underscores the vast revenue-base the platform constitutes. The PC is already Ubisoft's biggest revenue source. A separate VentureBeat report reveals that at launch, "Youngblood" won't support real-time ray-traced eye-candy, which would be added at a later date through a patch. "We're working together with NVIDIA on that, but ray tracing won't be available at launch," executive producer Jerk Gustafsson. "Youngblood" will be one of the first non-DirectX AAA titles to implement RTX. The game uses the Vulkan 3D API, and its RTX feature-set is exclusively NVIDIA's handiwork. In other news, Bethesda put out the minimum- and recommended system-requirements for the PC version. The minimum requirements read like this:- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Win7, 8.1, or 10 (64-Bit versions)
- Processor: AMD FX-8350/Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-3570/i7-3770
