Very interesting that a Radeon VII is on the same level as a 2080 in the "Ideal" section.

Doesn't say what resolution though.

Honestly not the most informative Spec requirement I've ever seen. Missing the most important bit, resolution, which has been standard for like ever.

Plus not liking the 100GB+ install size.

As it's on Steam it's not a big deal, To me at least, My problem was with Gears 1 + 4 on the MS Store, As I have a very slow net connection, 20Mbps, It took me a few days to fully download Gears 4 at 120GB, Having to pause it now and then to do work and Skype video calls etc... Upon unpausing the download the game install when it finished downloading would be corrupt so the game would be unplayable and seeing as the MS Store has no "Verify Game Install" option like Steam, Origin and Uplay have had for 5+ years now, It meant uninstalling the whole thing and then leaving the rig on for 2'ish days with nothing else being used in hopes of a corrupt free download.

seeing as the MS Store has no "Verify Game Install" option

If you go into Settings>Apps>[Select MS Store game]>Advanced Options>Reset then a game should "verify" itself and re-download the corrupted bits via the MS Store, doesn't work for all issues but seems to fix most I find, and usually I have to do it after downloading big games that I've paused.

Sadly doesn't work, What that option mainly does is correct install paths etc... but actually redownloading corrupt files is an option that is still missing.

My guess would be that Ideal is 4k with the 4k Texture Pack while the Min and Rec are for 1080p, Min being 1080p low and Rec being 1080p high. I would have loved to see them present it like Ubisoft did for Ghost Recon Breakpoint, giving us requirements for 1080p low, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 2k ultra, and 4k ultra, with the addition of target frame rates, which is the only thing Ubisoft missed out on in their system requirements announcement.
