System Requirements - PC - Steam

Learn what system requirements are, why they matter for video games, and how to check if your PC can run a game smoothly

Updated over a week ago

A video game, like any other software, can only function within the limits set by your device’s operating system.

System requirements refer to the minimum and recommended hardware and software specifications needed for a game or application to run properly. If your system does not meet these specifications, you may experience issues such as difficulty installing the game or poor performance during gameplay. Installation issues can prevent the game from being set up correctly, while performance-related problems may lead to lag, errors, freezing, or crashes.

You can usually find a game’s system requirements listed on the store page where it is sold (for example, on Steam). We strongly recommend reviewing these details before making a purchase to ensure your system meets the necessary specifications.
