The highly-anticipated first-person shooter "Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus" from Bethesda Games is now live and available for download.

Fans of Nazi battles will have good reason to stay home this weekend as "Wolfenstein 2" just went live on Oct. 27 at 12 a.m. EDT. For those planning to download the game on PlayStation 4 (PS4) or Xbox One, the hard drive needs to have a big amount of space. For those gamers who use PS4, it is going to require 47.9 gigabytes (GB) of free space while Xbox One users will need 49.02 GB.

The information regarding the download sizes of PS4 Pro and Xbox One X is not yet available. Nevertheless, considering the improved graphics quality and seamless visuals, it is expected that the space required is going to bigger than that of the PS4 and Xbox One.

For PC enthusiasts, it is important to keep these specifications in mind so that "Wolfenstein 2" can run smoothly and without any hang ups. Minimally, the PC's operating system (OS) needs to be at least a Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 particularly for 64-Bit versions. The processor preferably needs to be an AMD FX-8350/Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-3570/i7-3770. There needs to be at least 8 GB of random access memory (RAM). Moreover, there has to be at least 55 GB of available space.

System crashes are not uncommon in playing video games especially when players are caught in the heat of battle. Here is what PC players can do if they experience "Wolfenstein 2" crashes. Make sure the game is run on the dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU) and not the integrated GPU. On the Advanced Video Settings, disable "Async compute" and restart the game. Install the latest Windows 10 updates. Perform a system antivirus scan. Lastly, run System File Checker or use a dedicated registry cleaner to clean any corrupt files.
