After a long 7 years since the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance, its sequel – Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is finally out for both PC and console. Warhorse Studios’ epic medieval RPG runs surprisingly well on modern PC hardware, which is quite a welcome change compared to most modern AAA ports.
The game also possesses some very modest minimum system requirements, although the recommended spec does seem to warrant a much more powerful PC. The game also has a ton of settings to tweak and experiment with, which can be quite overwhelming for the average player.
As such, a list of recommended presets will be listed below, optimized for both image quality and performance.
