The recently unveiled system requirements for Kingmakers suggest a surprisingly accessible gaming experience, especially considering the ambitious nature of the title. Developed in the advanced Unreal Engine 5, the game promises to deliver a visually stunning experience without demanding an overly powerful rig.
System Requirements Overview
As reported by PCGamesN, the details on system requirements can be found tucked away in the depths of the Epic Games Store, with the game’s Steam page yet to provide similar information. The minimum requirements are refreshingly modest:

For those looking to enjoy the game at its recommended settings, the requirements remain reasonable. A 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor paired with an RTX 3070 graphics card will suffice, along with a memory upgrade to 16 GB. Notably, the storage requirement remains consistent at 80 GB, which may pose a challenge for older systems that might lack sufficient space.
Interestingly, the current specifications are exclusively listed on the Epic Games Store, leaving some room for speculation about potential changes before the game’s release. The absence of AMD components in both CPU and GPU categories raises eyebrows, but clarity may emerge as the launch date approaches.
In terms of gameplay, Kingmakers evokes a sense of nostalgia, blending elements of action and real-time strategy. Players find themselves in the midst of medieval warfare, armed with modern weaponry and a time-bending twist that adds depth to the experience. Although early trailers hint at a slightly grainy aesthetic, this could be attributed to various post-processing effects.
With an early access launch set for October 8, anticipation builds for further insights into the game’s performance and mechanics. As it stands, the current system requirements suggest that many players may not need to upgrade their hardware significantly, perhaps just a few minor adjustments to free up space.
