IRON NEST demo and PC requirements
Where the demo is linked and how to read the published minimum and recommended hardware.
Answer: The full game's Steam page links an IRON NEST demo with appid 4300500. Published PC requirements list 4 GB RAM at minimum and 8 GB recommended, with 5 GB storage in both tiers.
Find the correct demo
The full game is appid 2950790. Its store page provides a Learn More link for the separate demo, appid 4300500. A demo link establishes a publicly listed trial, not that it includes every mission or transfers saves to the full release.
Minimum hardware
The published minimum tier lists a Core i5-4460 or AMD FX-8350, 4 GB RAM, Intel UHD or AMD Vega 8 graphics, DirectX 10 and 5 GB storage. The OS field states a 64-bit processor and operating system without naming a Windows version.
The developer associates this tier with an average target of 30 FPS at 720p on low settings. That is a developer target, not a benchmark we reproduced. Configuration and thermal conditions can change the result.
Recommended hardware
The recommended tier lists a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1060 6 GB or RX 580 8 GB, DirectX 10 and 5 GB storage. These requirements should not be substituted for separately tested Steam Deck or console performance.
Before downloading
Compare the actual CPU, GPU and memory in your machine with the tier you intend to use. The official page recommends a dedicated GPU for a smoother experience, but it does not guarantee frame rate on every qualifying system.
Scope
The requirements above belong to the full-game store listing checked on 8 October 2026. The demo's own hardware table and save compatibility have not been independently checked here.
