Dead or Alive 6 Last Round will be out on PC and consoles in a few days, and KOEI TECMO is calling it the definitive version to play. While it’s largely a re-release, KOEI TECMO has shared a few technical improvements. Here are the updated system requirements for Dead or Alive 6 Last Round.

Considering this is technically an older title, the requirements are still fairly modest. However, compared to the original PC release of Dead or Alive 6 from 2019, there are a few notable changes. First, you’ll now need around 80 GB of free SSD space to install Dead or Alive 6 Last Round, compared to the original release’s 50 GB storage requirement on an HDD.

While the recommended CPU remains unchanged, the minimum processor requirement has been raised from an Intel Core i5-4690 to an Intel Core i5-8400, which is a considerably faster chip. On the GPU side, the GeForce GTX 1060, which was previously listed as the recommended graphics card, has been moved down to the minimum requirements, replacing the older GTX 770. The recommended GPU has been upgraded to a GeForce GTX 1070 with 8 GB of VRAM. Again, not exactly the most powerful card on the market but a major jump from the GTX 1060.

Now, all of these updates to hardware requirements could just mean they’re listing components that are more readily available and common compared to 2019, but we’ll know for sure when Last Round is officially out. One interesting detail in the requirements is the mention of “Upscaling,” which is disabled for both presets. This could suggest that Last Round includes support for technologies such as DLSS or FSR, though that has not been officially confirmed yet.
Dead or Alive 6 Last Round Technical Updates
It’s hard to make out any notable graphical differences, but KOEI TECMO has confirmed the “Lost Paradise” stage has been updated with Katana Engine’s “OBORO” lighting system, which offers realistic lighting created by natural environmental lighting and shading. Here are a few comparisons with the original stage shared by the team:
From what I can tell, this lighting system hasn’t been applied to other existing stages, but KOEI TECMO has confirmed they will offer free “OBORO” versions of other stages as they become available post-launch.
Outside of this, KOEI TECMO has mentioned that the title has been updated for modern consoles including PS5 and Xbox Series S|X. What this actually translates to is still unclear, but I’m assuming it’s mostly a resolution boost.
