The short answer
Steam recommends Windows 11, 32 GB RAM, an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT, and an SSD with 40 GB available. The minimum memory is 16 GB. These requirements do not guarantee a particular frame rate; Steam notes that performance varies with the number of active Pals.

Step 1｜Compare the recommended specifications
Check the complete configuration.
Time: A few minutes
- Check for 64-bit Windows 11.
- Compare the CPU with Intel Core i5-12400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.
- Check for 32 GB RAM.
- Compare the GPU with GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or Radeon RX 6700 XT.
- Check for an SSD with at least 40 GB available.
Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.
Step 2｜Compare 16 GB and 32 GB in your workload
Installed capacity and current usage are different.
Time: A few minutes
- Open Task Manager → Performance → Memory.
- Check installed capacity and usage before launching the game.
- On a 16 GB system, close unnecessary apps such as unused browser sessions.
- Compare usage again in a large base or a scene with many active Pals.
Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.
Step 3｜Check the minimum configuration
Treat this as a compatibility baseline, not a performance guarantee.
Time: A few minutes
- The listed OS is 64-bit Windows 10; this historical minimum is not a recommendation to use an unsupported Windows installation.
- Check the Intel Core i5-9400F CPU requirement.
- Check for 16 GB RAM.
- Check the GeForce GTX 1660 GPU requirement.
- Check DirectX 11 and 40 GB of available SSD space.
Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.
Step 4｜Identify the PC with Windows tools
Compare actual model names with the current Steam listing.
Time: A few minutes
- Press Windows+R.
- Enter dxdiag and press Enter.
- Read the CPU and memory on the System tab.
- Read the GPU on the Display tab.
- Compare with the latest requirements on Steam before making a purchase.
Results that did not fix the problem help the next reader too.
Important cautions
- Requirements may change. Recheck the Steam listing before buying or upgrading hardware.
- Performance depends on active Pals; also consider base size, multiplayer activity and background apps.
FAQ
Can I play with 16 GB RAM?
That meets the listed minimum memory capacity. The recommendation is 32 GB, and actual usage depends on the world and other running apps.
Is an SSD required?
Both listed configurations require an SSD with 40 GB available. Leave additional room for normal system and update needs.
Which GPU is recommended?
The listing names GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or Radeon RX 6700 XT. Matching a GPU alone does not establish that the whole PC meets the requirements.
