Playground has not published a higher tier (4K or "ultra") on Steam. The official FAQ shows a spec chart of its own; as this viki read it, it adds video memory of 6 GB for the minimum and 8 GB for the recommended PC, and lists the RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT among recommended cards (official FAQ). Check the chart itself before buying hardware on those lines.
An SSD is required, not just recommended: a hard drive is below the minimum. The 135 GB is the PC figure; console install sizes have not been published.
