Quick Answer: Can My PC Run It?
The confirmed minimum is a GTX 1660-class GPU with 16 GB of RAM on Windows 10 — a mid-range gaming PC from the last five years clears it. Official recommended hardware targets a Ryzen 7 7800X3D or i5-14600K with an RTX 3060 for the full experience; the developer notes that enjoying the game "without compromising its look and feel" is what the recommended tier is tuned for.
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (Version 21H1) | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8500 | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Intel Core i5-14600K |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (8GB) | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT |
| Storage | 10 GB available space | 10 GB available space |
Reading the Tiers
The jump from minimum to recommended is almost entirely CPU and GPU headroom — RAM stays at 16 GB across both tiers, and storage is a light 10 GB. For a colony builder, that pattern suggests the simulation (hundreds of resources moving through dozens of buildings) is the performance driver rather than raw graphics. Owners of last-generation mid-tier hardware should expect to sit between the tiers and adjust settings per world.
