    ArcheAge Chronicles System Requirements and PC Compatibility

    Check official ArcheAge Chronicles PC requirements, OS, storage and graphics conditions, and distinguish developer performance targets from measured results.

    AT A GLANCE

    Steam lists a 64-bit Windows PC requirement, 16 GB RAM minimum, DirectX 12 and a 100 GB SSD install. Steam and Epic show different minimum CPU/GPU entries, so use the requirements on the storefront for the version you intend to install.

    Steam minimum and recommended specs

    The Steam listing is the relevant published specification for the public Steam build. It gives Windows 10 64-bit, a 64-bit CPU, 16 GB RAM, DirectX 12, 100 GB available space and an SSD as the minimum baseline. Its minimum GPU is RTX 2060 SUPER or Radeon RX 6600 with 8 GB VRAM; the CPU is Core i5-10400 or Ryzen 5 3600.

    Why Epic’s minimum looks different

    The Epic product page lists a higher minimum CPU/GPU baseline than Steam, while its recommended entry is also phrased differently. Because both are official storefronts and the entries conflict, this guide does not merge them into one “true” minimum. Check the store page tied to your build before downloading; requirements may be revised.
