Windows 11

Read the minimum tier first. Windows 11 is the operating system. The processor line asks for a quad-core CPU, Intel i7 Sandy Bridge or later, or AMD Bulldozer or later. Memory is 16 GB RAM. If any one of those three is short, the rest of the row does not rescue the PC.

Graphics asks for a DirectX 11.1 compatible card with 8 GB of VRAM. DirectX on its own row is Version 12. Meet both lines: the card compatibility and the DirectX version. Network is a broadband internet connection. Storage is 150 GB available space, which is free space, not the size of the drive.

The recommended tier does not repeat those numbers. Its only line is: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Sort the table to Minimum when you are matching a PC, and to Recommended when you only want that 64-bit line. Search can find RAM, VRAM, or 150.

• Operating system: Windows 11
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics memory: 8 GB VRAM
• Storage: 150 GB available space
• Recommended: 64-bit processor and operating system

macOS is not supported and Linux is not supported. A machine that meets the CPU and RAM lines still needs Windows. The launch window is Q2 2027.

The minimum does not set a laptop wattage, a target frame rate, or an SSD. It asks for 150 GB of available space. Broadband is the network line, and it has no speed number.

Full controller support, DualShock controller support, and DualSense controller support are available. They do not change the Windows 11 minimum.
