The Arc Raiders PC system requirements have appeared ahead of the game’s 2025 launch, and the baseline for running the shooter is surprisingly modest. You won’t need a bleeding-edge GPU to boot the game, but there are a few catches worth noting.
Below are the published PC specs for Arc Raiders, broken down by Minimum, Recommended, and Ultra tiers.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or later | Windows 10 or later |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-6600K AMD Ryzen R5 1600 |
Intel Core i5-9600K AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti AMD Radeon RX 580 |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Intel Arc B570 |
| VRAM | 4GB (Nvidia), 8GB (AMD) | 8GB |
| Storage | TBC | TBC |
| RAM | 12GB | 16GB |
| Ultra | |
| OS | Windows 10 or later |
| CPU | Intel Core i7 9700K AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX |
| VRAM | 16GB (Nvidia), 24GB (AMD) |
| Storage | TBC |
| RAM | 16GB |
The minimum line is simple: an Intel Core i5-6600K or Ryzen R5 1600 with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or Radeon RX 580, and 12GB of RAM. That 12GB floor is the thing that will trip up older laptops and budget builds more than the GPU choices.
If you want smoother framerates and higher resolutions, the recommended specs call for an RTX 2070 or equivalent GPU, paired with a Core i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 3600 and 16GB of RAM. The Ultra tier jumps to last-generation high-end cards like the RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 XTX and keeps RAM at 16GB.
Storage and download size remain listed as TBC, and there’s no explicit requirement for an SSD. That said, using an SSD will help load times and installs. For anyone who wants to read more about technical features that have been confirmed for the PC version, we previously covered Arc Raiders supporting RTXGI and listed the final system requirements in our writeup.
How this translates to real-world performance isn’t spelled out in the spec sheet. The minimum tier will probably mean playing at 1080p with lower detail settings, while the recommended hardware should be capable of higher settings and better framerates.
