Platform notes
The official release platform is Windows on Steam. The supplied system requirements do not list Mac or Linux support, and the game is not confirmed for those platforms. Both requirement tiers list only 2 GB of storage, so disk space is unlikely to be the main barrier for most modern gaming PCs.
The CPU and GPU requirements are modest by current PC standards, but they still point to a dedicated graphics card. The minimum GPU examples both include 4 GB of VRAM, while the recommended examples move to 6 GB or 8 GB cards. If your PC is close to the minimum line, the free Steam demo is a useful way to check performance and comfort before buying the full release.
How to check your PC
On Windows, Task Manager can show your CPU, memory, and GPU under the Performance tab. System Information can also list the processor, installed memory, Windows system type, and graphics adapter details. Compare those entries with the official table above, paying special attention to RAM, GPU model, and VRAM.
If your system has 8 GB RAM, treat that as the minimum line rather than the comfort line. If your system has 16 GB RAM and a GPU around the GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8GB class, it is closer to the recommended target. The official DirectX line also matters: minimum lists DirectX 11, while recommended lists DirectX 12.
