Dragon’s Dogma 2 PC system requirements: Can your PC run it?

TL:DR

  • Recommended specs include a 64-bit OS, Intel Core i7-10700/AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080/AMD Radeon RX 6700, suggesting moderate requirements for modern PCs.
  • Minimum specs require an Intel Core i5 10600/AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070/AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, indicating the game is accessible to a wide range of players.

The release date for the highly-anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2 is almost upon us. The character creator has already been released but now you may be in that uneasy time of wondering whether your aging gaming rig is going to keep up with the demands placed upon it.

How big is the Dragon’s Dogma 2 download?

Well before we even begin to look at how well your gaming PC will run things it’s worth a quick check to make sure you have enough free storage space. No word yet on the PC download size but the Xbox size is listed at some 70GB, which, while still a lot, is around half the size of a Baldur’s Gate 3. Hopefully, you will have enough space without having to delete all those dubious waifu games you picked up in a Steam Sale once.

This is the kind of spec you are looking for if you wish to play the game anything like it is intended to be played. Things do not look too beefy at this stage so we don’t anticipate, beyond early bugs, any real problems for the majority of players.

Will it run on a Steam Deck or ROG Ally?
