The minimum specification calls for Dual Core CPU - 2.6GHz, 4 GB RAM and 1GB of VRAM: Intel HD 3000 GPU / AMD HD 5450 / Nvidia 9400 GT. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 2GB.

What it launched against

Moon Hunters launched on 10 March 2016, within three weeks of Tom Clancy's The Division, Dark Souls III, Stardew Valley and SuperHot. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.

Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Dark Souls III, Stardew Valley, SuperHot.
