What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3 10100F | Ryzen 3 3100 or equivalent, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1050 | AMD RX 570 or equivalent. 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 16GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
