The minimum system requirements of a game have been chosen to provide all players meeting these requirements with a satisfactory experience. Any computer falling below these requirements may have a poor experience which is prone to technical issues.
If you wish to continue playing with a computer below these requirements, we can only recommend that you reduce the graphical settings to an absolute minimum. However, we cannot guarantee that any issues on computers below requirements can be fixed.
What are the minimum system requirements?
When you purchase a game from a digital platform, the minimum system requirements will always be shown on the product page to allow you to make an informed purchased based on whether your computer meets these requirements. If you purchased a physical copy of the game, the requirements will usually be on the back of the box.
On Steam, you will find the system requirements below the product description, as per the following examples.
- Bassmaster® Fishing 2022
- Train Simulator Classic
- Train Sim World 2020
- Train Sim World 2
- Train Sim World 3
- Train Sim World 4
- Train Sim World 5
- Train Sim World 6
Example:
- Minimum represents the hardware you will need to have a satisfactory experience using Lowest settings.
- Recommended represents the hardware you will need to have a good experience using High-Ultra settings.
How can I check my PC meets the requirements?
All the information you need can easily be obtained by running the DxDiag Tool on your computer. The most important information can be found on the following tabs.
System Tab
- Operating System (Known as an OS, most players will be on Windows 10 or 11, if you are using an older operating system you may want to upgrade for security and compatibility reasons)
- Processor (Known as a CPU, a higher model number in the same generation usually indicates a faster CPU. However, different generations or brands cannot be so easily compared)
- Memory (Known as RAM, a higher number will generally be better)
- DirectX Version (A higher number will be backwards compatible with any previous version of DirectX)
Display Tab
- Graphics (Known as a GPU, a higher model number in the same generation usually indicates a faster GPU. However, different generations or brands cannot be so easily compared)
- Display Memory (Known as VRAM, a higher number will generally be better)
Computer hardware can be a confusing topic, as it can be particularly difficult to establish whether one part is better than another. However, if you would like to know whether your computer is suitable for playing one of our titles, please feel free to Submit a Support Ticket.
