## Key points

- Cinder City’s pre-alpha test runs from 14 to 16 August.
- Its 32GB minimum RAM requirement remains unusually high.
- The US-only test is under a strict NDA.

## Summary

Cinder City, an upcoming open-world third-person shooter set in a near-future Seoul, will hold a pre-alpha PC playtest from 14 to 16 August. The test matters because the game’s listed hardware requirements remain unusually demanding and uncertain, giving eligible players an early indication of whether it performs acceptably on their systems.

A previously listed recommendation of 64GB of RAM was confirmed as an error, but the game still lists 32GB as its minimum requirement—more memory than most respondents to Steam’s latest hardware survey have. The playtest is limited to US residents aged 16 or over and is covered by a non-disclosure agreement; the publisher says final requirements could fall as optimisation continues, with additional tests expected in more regions.
