Named as the most anticipated game at The Game Awards in 2014, the open world triple action-packed adventure RPG game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, set on a May 19 release date to Xbox One, PS4, and PC platforms, promises to deliver over 100 hours of gameplay and more.
'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' is the third entry in 'The Witcher' series that debuted in 2007 based on the fantasy novels of the same title authored by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
The third game is a continuum to the dark adventure of the witcher Geralt of Rivia, however, in order for witchery fans desire to travel along his quest, the need for enough memory space on their consoles is a must.
IGN reported that the Polish game developer CD Projekt has confirmed earlier rumors that the gamers might need to clear their respective hard drives to make room for a heavyweight 50GB install size of the game.
CD Projekt is mum as to the precise information to explain the need for a big install size but they stated that 50GB is the approximate memory space to be used.
It's a quite larger than the minimum PC specs previously reported last month as required, a 40GB, Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz, a Radeon HD 7870, 6GB RAM, 64-bit Win 7 or Win 8, GeForce GTX 660, an AMD Phenom II X4 940 and DX 11.
