WARDOGS System Requirements: Minimum & Recommended
WARDOGS requires Windows, 16 GB RAM, broadband internet and 50 GB of storage. The official minimum target pairs an i5-8600 or Ryzen 5 3500 with a GTX 1660 or RX 590 for 1080p Low at 60 fps using upscaling. The recommended target pairs an i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 5700X with an RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT.
Official minimum requirements
Steam lists a 64-bit Windows 10 system, an Intel Core i5-8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500, 16 GB of RAM, and either an Nvidia GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 590. A broadband connection and 50 GB of available storage are also required.
The performance note attached to that tier is 1080p Low at 60 fps with upscaling. It is a target, not a guarantee for every map, server load, driver version or background-software setup.
Official recommended requirements
The recommended listing moves to 64-bit Windows 11, an Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. Storage remains 50 GB and broadband internet is still required.
Steam associates this tier with 1440p Medium at more than 70 fps natively, or 4K Medium at more than 60 fps with upscaling. Those figures describe the official target for the current build and may move during Early Access optimization.
How to compare your PC
Match the exact CPU and GPU model first, then check memory and free storage. Laptop parts with a similar name can use different power limits, so the desktop model number alone is not enough to promise equivalent performance.
If your hardware sits near the minimum, begin with the Low preset, close unnecessary background software and use the game's graphics options before increasing resolution or effects. The developers say performance has been a priority and that the game has been tested across a range of hardware, but the live Steam specification remains the safest baseline.
Before downloading the beta or Early Access build
Keep more than 50 GB free so Steam has room for downloads, unpacking and updates. Update Windows and your graphics driver, then restart before diagnosing a launch failure.
WARDOGS currently lists Windows only and uses Easy Anti-Cheat. Linux, macOS and Steam Deck compatibility should not be inferred from the PC requirements unless BULKHEAD or Valve publishes a specific compatibility statement.
