What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel 7th Gen: Intel Core i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX-5600 XT (6GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 117GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Anno 117: Pax Romana launched on 13 November 2025, within three weeks of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, ARC Raiders, The Outer Worlds 2 and Routine. It reviewed better than 3 of the 4. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
