System Requirements
Hard requirements — not optional
Wings of Theve requires an SSD, a hardware ray tracing-capable graphics card, and DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6 or higher. A PC without hardware ray-tracing support does not meet the published minimum specification; no non-ray-tracing fallback has been confirmed.
Official minimum PC specifications
| OS | Windows 11, 64-bit |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT 8 GB |
| DirectX | Version 12, Shader Model 6.6+ |
| Storage | 125 GB available space on an SSD |
| Target | 1080p upscaled / 30 fps / Low; drops possible in intensive scenes |
Baseline performance target
Bandai Namco's own estimate for minimum-spec hardware is 1080p with upscaling at roughly 30fps on "Low" graphics settings, with framerate expected to drop further in graphics-intensive scenes (large-scale battles, superweapon encounters). This is a performance-mode baseline, not a locked 30fps guarantee.
What this means if you're upgrading
- The named minimum GPUs are an RTX 2060 6GB and RX 6600 XT 8GB. Check a different card for hardware ray tracing, Shader Model 6.6, memory and performance rather than judging only by generation.
- The game must be installed on an SSD with 125GB available. Steam does not specify SATA versus NVMe or explain the technical reason for the requirement.
- DirectX 12 support alone is not enough: the listing separately requires Shader Model 6.6 or higher and hardware ray tracing.
Still unconfirmed
Steam has published the minimum table above, but the recommended CPU, GPU, memory and performance target are still listed as TBD. Do not treat a third-party “recommended build” as an official specification.
