Quick answer
On Steam, the minimum PC is an Intel Core i5 8400, 16 GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. The recommended PC has an Intel Core i5 10400 and a GeForce RTX 3060 with the same 16 GB RAM.[1] Both list Windows 11 as the operating system. Steam does not list Windows 10 (checked October 7, 2026).[1]

How much storage do you need?
Steam asks for 10 GB.[1] Konami's product page gives 8 GB for the Standard Edition and 10 GB for the Midnight Edition, whose extras include the separate Digital Sound & Art Gallery app.[2] If you are short on space, plan for 10 GB either way.
Frame rate
Konami lists 60 fps on every platform except Nintendo Switch, which runs at 30 fps.[2] Steam's page does not give target resolutions or frame rates per spec level.[1]
Controller and keyboard
The Steam page lists Full controller support, Gamepad Recommended, a Keyboard Only Option and DualSense Controller Support. It also lists Family Sharing.[1]
Steam Deck
On October 7, 2026, Steam had no Steam Deck compatibility rating for the game yet. Valve's compatibility check returned no Verified or Playable result.[3] We will update this section once a rating appears.
Demo first
A free demo has been on Steam since October 1, 2026, and your demo save carries over to the full game on the same account.[4] It is the quickest way to test your PC before buying. See the demo guide.
