Decoding Minimum vs Recommended Specifications

Game developers publish two tiers of system requirements when releasing a new title:

  • Minimum Requirements: The lowest hardware specification capable of launching the game, typically targeted at 720p or 1080p Low settings at 30 FPS.
  • Recommended Requirements: The hardware needed to experience the game as intended, typically 1080p High/Ultra settings at 60 FPS or higher.
