Unreal Engine 5-based Layers of Fear Gets PC Demo

Bloober Team has delivered on its promised and has released a PC demo for Layers of Fear, Unreal Engine 5-powered horror game. Layers of Fear is one of the first Unreal Engine 5 games. This is a limited time demo and will be available until May 22.

Acting as a showcase for the recently launched Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear will feature Temporal Super Resolution, ray tracing effects, UE5's Lumen and Nanite, as well as support for HDR, volumetric lighting and Niagara. Recently, Bloober Team released first official PC system requirements, which are pretty decent, showing promise that Unreal Engine 5 will finally bring some optimized games.
Without ray tracing at 1080p resolution and 60 FPS, the system requirements include an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 12 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1070 8 GB graphics card. With RT, the system requirements goes up to an Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA RTX 2070 8 GB or AMD RX 6800XT GPU. Running the game at 2160p resolution and 60 FPS with RT, raises those requirements to an NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti 12 GB graphics card.

Layers of Fear is scheduled to launch on June 2023 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
