That benefits Bethesda's other projects powered by the engine, and as such Wolfenstein 2 was something of a PC performance home run, and Youngblood lives up to that legacy. Of course, the id Tech 6 engine is designed to provide silky smooth experiences, something expressed brilliantly in its flagship release Doom. If a picture speaks a thousand words a video speaks many more, anyway, so here's some online co-op gameplay (complete with the odd bit of lag and such, so very realistic conditions) running with completely maxed out settings. Wolf 2 was a game that'd comfortably benchmark above 60 frames per second at 4K with maxed out settings on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, so it's no surprise that more modern top-of-the-line cards including the new AMD's Radeon VII and Nvidia's new RTX-series graphics cards can absolutely crush it.

On top of that this isn't a game that has a particularly different visual look to its predecessor despite the time that's passed, so it's perhaps no surprise to see it performing so well. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus was somehow over a year and a half ago at this point, and while the upcoming Doom Eternal and Id Software are now shifting to id Tech 7, the id Tech 6 engine that both Wolfenstein 2 and Youngblood use must have seen a few upgrades and tweaks in that time.


One advantage of being a simpler, more iterative sequel is that developers often get a chance to dial in their engines - and on PC Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a gorgeous looking game with great performance.
