ZA / UM has worked on optimizing the product, so the minimum PC specs have dropped significantly.

One of the biggest surprises of 2019 was Disco Elysium, a title developed by ZA / UM that has not only been successful in critics and audiences, but has received important awards in recent months. This RPG, which will also be released on consoles, did not work well on computers with worse technical specifications. However, the developer has announced that it has made a deep optimization so that it works on as many machines as possible.

“If you found out that your computer was having trouble running Elysium Disk before, then this update will surely fix this. Much more people can play now or enjoy a more polished experience than before. The new minimum specifications are: Windows 7 with DirectX compatible graphics card (integrated or dedicated, minimum 512MB of memory), 2GB of Ram, Intel Core 2 Duo and 20 GB of hard disk space. The compatible old Macs are:

  • MacBook Pro: mid-2009
  • MacBook Air: mid-2012
  • iMac: late 2009
  • Mac Pro: late 2008
  • Mac mini: 2009

Clan DLAN translates it into Spanish

As already known, Disco Elysium will be translated into Spanish by Clan DLAN, a group that performs fan localizations. In October 2019, they offered to ZA / UM to make their translation official, but at the time they received no response. All in all, Clan DLAN recently confirmed that their job would be the official one. When the game went on sale, it included English and Simplified Chinese. In the coming months, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, French and German will be updated and added.

Disco Elysium is an atypical RPG, since unlike most products in the genre, it does not have a battle system. The adventure is guided by the narrative and by the dialogues. It is available on PC and Mac, but it will also adapt to PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
