If you're not sure if your device is up to it, these are the minimum system requirements for Hades 2:
- Windows 10 64-bit OS (or Steam Deck)

- 4GB RAM
- 2G VRAM Graphics card/ Direct X12+ support
If your application is successful you will be sent an e-mail from Steam with the invitation to take part in the test, so keep an eye on your Inbox!
It's worth knowing that they're going to start with a handful of selected players but will be inviting more as the technical test goes on. So, if you're not invited right away, then keep an eye out for future e-mails as you could still be asked to take part at a later stage.
