Bandai Namco have officially released the demo for the North American version of "Tales of Berseria." Along with these are the hardware requirements and the existence of Denuvo protection as protection from piracy and means for the company keep track of illegitimate acquisitions of the game's copy.

As recently reported by PCGamer, the demo for "Tales of Berseria" is now available for fans who would like to get some bite-sized experience from the latest game in the series. The game is just a few more days away from becoming fully released for both the PlayStation 4 and PC.

The complete list of hardware and software requirements are shown at its official Steam page, but to summarize, any machine running a Windows 7 operating system up to 10 can run the game. However, 32-bit versions are not to be supported.

As for the processor and GPU, an Intel Core Duo E8400 3.00 Ghz or any AMD equivalent processor can run the game fine and these can be paired with GeForce 9800 GTX and its AMD equivalent. A minimum of 2 GB of RAM should suffice as well.

The requirements indicate the game's accessibility and a lot of players would want to get the game for their PCs. Unfortunately for those who aim to obtain the game through P2P sites, Bandai Namco have mentioned of a Denuvo-based DRM protection for the PC version (via Destructoid.)

However, the game's overall performance concern has become a subjective matter due to a number of complaints with DRM-related issues. Despite Bandai Namco's assurance of a "non-disruptive" experience.

Some long-time members of the community also see the implementation of the Denuvo DRM as a waste of money, which could have been spent on improving the overall quality of the game. Denuvo isn't exactly a fail-proof solution for companies who want to protect their games as it didn't take more than a month to for CPY to crack "Doom" last year as reported by Torrent Freak.

"Tales of Berseria" is scheduled to be released released on Jan. 24 for the PlayStation 4, while the PC (Steam) release is on the 27th. Pre-orders are now available through the game's respective product pages.
