Mortal Shell II PC System Requirements
Steam minimum specs and practical prep tips.
Published minimum specs are demanding. Budget an SSD install near 70 GB before pre-load day.
Minimum specs
- OS: Windows 10 / 11
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 class
- RAM: 16 GB
- GPU: RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB or RX 6600 8 GB
- DirectX 12
- Storage: 70 GB, SSD required
How to test
Play the Open Beta when available. If the beta stutters on your machine, plan lower settings for August 20 rather than hoping for miracles. Console players can ignore this page’s CPU table and focus on storage plus controls.
Pre-flight checklist
Update GPU drivers, free SSD space, disable heavy overlays, and confirm your edition on editions. Then run the pre-launch checklist.
Why these numbers matter
The published minimum is closer to a modern action RPG floor than a light indie laptop target. Integrated graphics and tiny eMMC machines are poor fits. If you are near minimum, expect to lower some settings rather than chase cinematic trailers at native 4K.
How to test before August 20
Play the Open Beta on Steam when available. If the beta stutters, plan lower settings for launch rather than hoping for miracles. Console players can ignore the CPU table and focus on storage plus controls.
Pre-flight checklist
Update GPU drivers, free SSD space near 70 GB, disable heavy overlays, confirm your edition on editions, then run the pre-launch checklist. Calendar context sits on release date.
Hardware honesty check
Minimum PC asks for modern mid-range CPUs, 16 GB RAM, RTX 2060 SUPER / RX 6600 class GPUs, DX12, and about 70 GB SSD. Integrated graphics are the wrong bet. Validate comfort during Open Beta, update drivers, free SSD space, disable noisy overlays, lock your edition via Editions, then finish the Pre-launch checklist.
