What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel i7-3770k 3.50GHz or AMD equivalent, 16 GB RAM and NvidiaGTX 1070 / Intel ARC 580 / AMD equivalent. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 50GB. 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
Steel Seed launched on 22 April 2025, within three weeks of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Blue Prince, South of Midnight and The Midnight Walk. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Blue Prince, South of Midnight, The Midnight Walk.
