What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for x86 compatible 2.3GHz or faster processor (Intel 2nd generation core i-series or equivalent), 2 GB RAM and 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series or ATI Radeon X800 series or better. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 5GB. 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
Grim Dawn launched on 25 February 2016, within three weeks of Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch and SuperHot. It reviewed better than 2 of the 4. It arrived 3 years into the Xbox One's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch, SuperHot.
