How demanding does that look?

The minimum GPU target is relatively old midrange hardware, but the recommended GPU jump is much larger. Without a publisher-defined resolution, frame-rate or graphics preset attached to those tiers, it would be misleading to translate “recommended” into a guaranteed 1080p/60 or 4K target. Treat the table as compatibility guidance, not a benchmark.

Storage size versus download size

Steam lists 4 GB of available storage. That is the current requirement, but final download size can still change before release due to patches, language files or packaging. Leave extra free space rather than assuming the final download will be exactly 4 GB.

Steam Deck, Mac and Linux

Steam currently publishes Windows requirements and does not list native macOS or Linux requirements. Steam Deck compatibility is also not established by the store information checked here. Those platforms should remain “not confirmed” until Valve or the publisher posts explicit compatibility.

How to use pre-release PC requirements

Minimum and recommended specifications are useful planning targets, not a guarantee of final performance. Players should also verify storage, operating-system updates, controller support, display modes and whether requirements change before launch. The final Steam listing remains the best place to check the current published specification.
