Answer: Both PC tiers require an SSD and 40 GB available space. Minimum RAM is 16 GB; recommended RAM is 32 GB. The developer notes that active Pals can affect performance.
Minimum PC tier
The minimum specification lists 64-bit Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-9400F, 16 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1660. DirectX 11, broadband internet and 40 GB available space are included. The additional note makes an SSD a requirement, not merely a recommendation.
Recommended PC tier
The recommended specification uses 64-bit Windows 11, an i5-12400 or Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 GB RAM, and an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT. DirectX 11, broadband and 40 GB storage remain listed, again with an SSD required.
Active Pals and performance
The developer explicitly notes that performance may vary with the number of active Pals. That warning does not establish a tested safe population, optimal base cap or guaranteed frame rate. Our site has not benchmarked a populated base on these tiers.
Server and update boundaries
These are client PC requirements. Do not reuse them as a dedicated-server sizing chart. Published available-space requirements are not measurements of future patches, mods or backup storage.
