The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may have been delayed until May, but that isn't stopping the developers from letting everyone know their PCs are inadequate.

The recommended and required system specs have been released by CD Projekt Red, and likely only those with the highest end PCs are not worried at all by what they see. The processor requirements are pretty high, but most gaming rigs will probably be able to run the title at least somewhere in the middle.

Required specs most likely doesn't mean that the game won't run at all, but you'd have to expect needing to lower settings and resolton fairly significantly. Most players don't enjoy having to turn off bells and whistles or play at medium or low settings, but machines falling at or around the minimum should be able to at least play the game if thats what their owners desire. The choice is yours, which of course includes console alternatives.
