GUIDE / PC

PC system requirements

Official PC requirements are available. S-GAME published them on August 12, 2026; Kingy checked the announcement and Steam on October 9. Both minimum and recommended targets use upscaling and require an SSD.

Published PC requirements and launch advice · no Kingy benchmarksSpoilers · Spoiler-free

Minimum: published 1080p target

Official statement

The publisher targets 1080p at 30 FPS with upscaling enabled. This is an advertised target, not a Kingy benchmark.

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit; DirectX 12.
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600.
  • GPU: GeForce GTX 1660 with 6 GB VRAM or Radeon RX 5500 XT with 8 GB.
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM. Storage: SSD required.

Ray tracing and path tracing targets

Official statement

S-GAME recommends a GeForce RTX 5060 with 8 GB for ray tracing at 1080p / 60 FPS, and a GeForce RTX 5080 with 16 GB for path tracing at 2160p / 60 FPS. Both targets require upscaling. These GPU recommendations are publisher targets; Kingy has not benchmarked them.

Preload storage and unmeasured performance

Official statement

The October 26 Steam notice now describes an approximately 145 GB game and asks PC players to reserve at least 300 GB of free space for the preload process. Use an SSD. The temporary 300 GB headroom is not the installed size, and Kingy has not measured either. The October 28 driver warning supersedes this notice’s blanket update advice: see PC performance and settings before changing an Nvidia driver. Performance on other hardware still needs build-specific testing.
