The minimum requirements are fairly lower than that of Path of Exile. However, it’s important to note that this is to simply run the game on the lowest settings and miss out on graphical fidelity.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 and AMD Radeon HD 6850 are both 12 years old. So most of your worries should be on freeing up disk space. You'll need 50 GB (and more for patches). The most important requirement is to have a 64-bit PC.
