The short answer
The published minimum calls for 64-bit Windows 10/11, 16 GB RAM, a dedicated AMD or NVIDIA graphics card with at least 6 GB VRAM, and 30 GB of storage. These requirements are not a measured frame-rate guarantee.
Published PC requirements

| Operating system | Windows 10/11, 64-bit | Windows 10/11, 64-bit |

What the listing can and cannot tell you
Steam also lists a broadband connection, a compatible sound card, and controller or keyboard-and-mouse input. Controller input does not establish console availability.
The CPU entry is broad. The recommended graphics line gives “GTX 2070 or newer” as an example; that is the store’s wording, not a Kingy-tested GPU recommendation. VRAM alone cannot establish how well a particular system will run the game.

Performance testing still to come
The developer has described work on NPC simulation, memory use and rendering. Kingy has not benchmarked the release build, verified Steam Deck compatibility, or tested accessibility and remapping options. Save your exact CPU, GPU and RAM details for a more useful comparison once measured results are available.
