The official minimum is Windows 10, 8 GB RAM and a GTX 1650 or RX 570 class graphics card. Minimum is not a promised frame rate.
Official minimum and recommended hardware
Minimum: 64-bit Windows 10; Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600; 8 GB RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 570; DirectX 11; broadband internet; 2 GB available storage.
Recommended: 64-bit Windows 11; Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600; 16 GB RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT; DirectX 12; broadband internet; 4 GB available storage. These are the published Steam specifications, not test results from this site.
Compare the parts rather than the computer’s age
Check your processor, memory and graphics model separately. A recent laptop is not automatically faster than an older desktop, and an integrated graphics model is not equivalent simply because its name includes a larger number. If a component is unfamiliar, look up its exact name before deciding.
The storage figures are required free space, not a guaranteed download size. Leave room for Steam to update the installation. Passing the minimum also does not promise a particular resolution or frame rate in a large late-game world.
Hardware requirements do not explain every failure
If a PC that meets the list crashes, check the current game version and installed files rather than immediately assuming new hardware is needed. Distinguish slow performance from a startup error or a single save refusing to load. They require different investigations.
Record your settings and repeat a short test when changing them. A clear before-and-after comparison is more useful than lowering every option at once. For AMD crash symptoms, consult the dedicated crash guide for the confirmed 1.0.4 graphics-default change.
Common questions
Does meeting the minimum guarantee 60 FPS?
No frame-rate target is attached to the published requirements.
Is 2 GB the download size?
It is the minimum available storage figure. The download and installed size can differ.
