Onimusha Way of the Sword: PC Settings and Performance

Quick answer: what the official spec numbers mean

Direct answer: the minimum spec targets 30 FPS on the Low preset and the recommended spec targets 60 FPS on the Medium preset at 1080p using upscaling. Both tiers list Windows 11, 16 GB RAM, DirectX 12 and 50 GB of storage. Read the presets literally: the numbers are preset-bound, not resolution-and-setting-free promises.

Three things worth noticing in those tables

1. Both tiers demand 16 GB of RAM. That is unusual: most releases drop the minimum to 8 GB. It means there is no officially supported low-memory configuration, so a machine with 8 GB is outside the published spec rather than merely slow.
2. Windows 11 is the floor, not Windows 10. Anyone still on Windows 10 is outside both tiers as written.
3. The 60 FPS figure is tied to upscaling in CAPCOM’s own wording. Treat the recommended spec as “60 FPS with upscaling enabled at 1080p on Medium”, not as a promise at native resolution. If you turn upscaling off and drop frames, you have not been misled by the spec; you have exceeded it.

A note on the graphics tier names. The notes reference Low and Medium presets only. CAPCOM has not published a preset-by-preset performance table, and this page will not invent one.

Storage, DirectX and what is not in the spec

• 50 GB is listed identically for both tiers, so plan for that as a flat figure rather than a range.
• DirectX 12 is required on both tiers.
• Not published: a preset-by-preset FPS table, VRAM scaling behaviour, a list of which settings cost the most performance, official ultrawide support notes, and any console spec equivalents. Where a guide gives you exact frame times for named settings, treat it as measured by that author rather than official.

DLC on the store listing

The store page lists outfit and material add-ons alongside the base game, including:

DLC	Type
Outfit for the Oni Lady: Hinoa	Cosmetic outfit
Outfit for Okuni: Yomogi’s Dance	Cosmetic outfit
Materials Pack: Red Souls I	Materials pack

Because prices, free-versus-paid status and contents can change after launch, check the store page for each item rather than relying on a snapshot. What is useful to know from a progression standpoint is that a Materials Pack for red souls exists at all: red souls are the game’s upgrade currency, so this is a progression shortcut rather than a cosmetic.

Settings guidance that follows from the spec

1. Start at the preset your hardware was sold as. If you are at or near the GTX 1660 class, Low is the tier CAPCOM used to promise 30 FPS. If you are at the RTX 2060 Super class, Medium plus upscaling is the tier CAPCOM used to promise 60 FPS.
2. Decide upscaling first. It is part of the official recommended configuration, not an optional extra, and it is the single cheapest way to reach the 60 FPS figure.
3. Do not chase 60 FPS on the minimum tier. 30 FPS is what the published minimum promises; the recommended tier is what promises 60.
4. Budget 50 GB before you buy. It is the same for both tiers, so there is no smaller install to aim for.

What this page does not cover

• Measured benchmarks. We have not run them, so none are printed.
• Per-setting performance cost tables. Not published by CAPCOM.
• Console performance modes. The listing we verified does not include console platforms.
• Steam Deck verification status and its settings profile. Not included in the listing we read; we will add it when it can be sourced.
