The heaviest and the lightest
SAW: Genesis sets the highest floor: its minimum is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. Lords of the Fallen II has the most demanding recommended card, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. At the other end, Pony Island 2: Panda Circus starts at the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, a card most gaming PCs from the last decade will beat.
Memory, storage and Windows
- RAM: 16GB is the standard recommended figure. Chrono Odyssey and Sea of Remnants recommend 32GB. More in 16GB vs 32GB RAM for gaming.
- Storage: the median install is 30GB. Fable, SAW: Genesis, Gears of War: E-Day, The Talos Principle 3 and Phantom Blade Zero name an SSD.
- Windows: SAW: Genesis, Star Trek: Shadow Frontier and Lords of the Fallen II list Windows 11 only. Every other game that names a version still accepts Windows 10.
Games still waiting on specs
33 of the games we follow have a Steam page but no requirements yet, including Judas, State of Decay 3, Militsioner, ILL and DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3. Their pages say so and update when the publisher posts. The full calendar is on upcoming PC games 2027.
Check your PC against them
Open any game above and the can I run it checker compares your graphics card, processor and memory with its specs. To see which card clears the most of them, read what graphics card 2027 games need.
How these numbers were worked out
Requirements are the publishers' own, read from each game's Steam store page (last checked 15 September 2026). Entries such as "TBD" or "Coming soon" count as not published, never as a spec. Graphics cards are compared on the relative performance index explained in our editorial standards, where a card "meets" a requirement when it scores at least as high as the card the publisher named and has any VRAM amount the publisher stated. This article is rebuilt whenever that data is refreshed.
