We're just a couple of months out and I still have no faith in the posted System Requirements. They are laughably low, even for the Recommended specs.


Here is what is posted as of the right now:

Recommended:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Win 10 64 Bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2060 / AMD RX 6600 / Intel Arc A750
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 20 GB available space

Only 20GB of space?!??! And only an RTX 2060(!) for GPU?

I can't be the only one who is laughing at these.

Roflmao.

I haven't used a computer that crappy for over 10 years.

It's sitting in a landfill somewhere in British Columbia.

There exactly another set for ultra.

I have confidence the most followed You Tubers who preview games try them on more than one top shelf uber computer but with a few with different specs. It makes sense. The first You Tuber who can honestly say and show a game not running well with the suggested specs is going to get plenty of views.

Good link! Yeah, this could be an issue with Steam's limitation of only being able to show two separate specs?

I'm still not buying the 20GB of storage space.

Civ 6 base game is only like 8GB, and with all DLC it's about 30GB. I don't think 20GB for the base game is unrealistic.

Civkind has been designed to be much smaller and less strategic than before .

A Multi platform meta type mini game don't need much power

I would be more worried about the cpu than the gpu. This is a strategy game.
20 Gb probably means that loads of DLCs are planned.

you don't think an rtx 2060 is a large graphical recommendation? and anyways, the game is likely made to scale for the switch. it's a good thing the spec requirement is "low". just an fyi, the recommended gpu for civ was the gtx 770 which was 3 years old when civ 6 came out

Considering that most modern games are bulked I feel like we should actually be happy about the creators of this game not pumping it full of 90 GB of useless content.
