If you’re wondering about the Frostpunk 2 system requirements, we’ve got you covered. Frostpunk 2 is out on early access, with the wide release date coming soon. It’s available on a wide variety of platforms, including PC. If players want to play it on a console, the standards are pretty universal. A PlayStation 5 game is made to run on a PlayStation 5, and there’s very little room for variety there. That is not the case for computers, many of which differ vastly. They have different processors and different capabilities. Here’s what you need to know.

What are the Frostpunk 2 System Requirements?
If you have a PC, there are a few things to keep in mind for Frostpunk 2:
- Your PC needs a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
- The processor should be AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz
- Needs at least 8 GB RAM
- The AMD RX 550 4 GB VRAM, NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti 4 GB VRAM, or INTEL ARC A310 4GB VRAM are needed for graphics
- DirectX should be Version 12
- 30 GB should be available for storage space
For Mac OS, the specifications change:
- Must have an Apple processor
- OS: macOS 14.5
- Processor should be Apple M1
- 8 GB RAM is necessary
- Graphics card should be Apple M1
- 30 GB space
You will also need a SSD for both. Those are the minimum system requirements, but that won’t necessarily have the game running at its peak.
Optimal Performance
If you’d like to reach higher heights with this highly-anticipated game, try this:
- 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
- Processor should be the AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz
- You will need 16 GB RAM
- Graphics cards should be the AMD RX 5700 8 GB VRAM, NVIDIA 2060 Super RTX 8 GB VRAM, or INTEL ARC A770 8GB VRAM
- DirectX will remain Version 12
On Mac, the optimal system requirements differ a bit:
- Needs an Apple processor
- OS: Latest macOS
- Processor should be the Apple M1 Pro or better
- Needs 16 GB RAM
- Graphics card should be Apple M1 Pro or better
Once again, you will need 30 GB of space available. Many PCs do not have these system requirements, but the game will run just fine as long as you have the first list checked off. If not, you will not be able to play and may need to seek the game out on Xbox, PlayStation, or another platform.
