Developers Bloober Team and Anshar Studios have set a June 15, 2023 release date for Layers of Fear 2023 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and a demo is available to play on Steam between May 15 and May 22 at 6:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. PT. This game is a remake of the first two Layers of Fear games and their DLC, while also adding a new story about “The Writer,” which will bring together the plot of the whole series. Layers of Fear 2023 is built in Unreal Engine 5 with ray tracing, HDR, and 4K support, so Bloober has also revealed what the minimum and recommended PC system requirements are — check out the specs below.

In late April, Bloober had released a video to demonstrate what Layers of Fear will look like on PS5 running in UE5, and it looks pretty nice, as one would expect.
And now that you know what the PC system requirements are, you should know what it takes to make Layers of Fear 2023 look like that (or better) on your PC too, upon its release date in June.
