Diablo 2 Resurrected has just been announced atBlizzCon 2021, withBlizzardnow revealing the PC requirements for the incoming remaster – and confirming that mods will be supported, to boot.
What kind of system will you need to run Diablo 2 Resurrected, then? Fortunately, the requirements aren’t particularly demanding from a contemporary gaming perspective, although the recommended spec – for 1080p resolution – does call for 16GB of system memory (an increasing trend these days).

So as you can see, there’s nothing traumatic here, and indeed the bare minimum requirements are very easy-going – although note that this is for running the game at 720p resolution, which isn’t going to look great, of course.
Diablo 2 Resurrected ups the graphical ante considerably, and as we’ve seen, it will update the visuals with a fresh coat of paint andallow the resolution to be cranked up to 4Kwhile supporting refresh rates of up to 144Hz.
