What the Palworld tiers mean

  • 16 GB RAM meets Steam's minimum, not its 32 GB recommendation.
  • Steam lists a GTX 1660 at minimum; its recommended GPUs are an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT.
  • Both tiers list an SSD with 40 GB free. Do not treat an HDD as meeting that requirement.
  • No FPS target is published for either tier, so the table cannot guarantee performance for your build.

Buying checklist

  • Check your exact GPU model, not only the amount of VRAM.
  • Make sure your system has enough free storage before preload or install.
  • Compare both CPU and GPU if you plan to play above 60 FPS.
  • Wait for launch-day performance reports if the listed specs are incomplete.

Frequently asked questions

Can my PC run Palworld?

This page cannot test your hardware. Steam lists 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1660, and an SSD as minimum requirements. Compare your exact CPU and GPU models too; meeting the minimum does not guarantee a particular frame rate.

Are the Palworld PC requirements official?

The requirements on this page link back to the tracked source shown in the table. Always open the source before buying hardware or preloading a large game.

Is 16 GB RAM enough for Palworld?

16 GB meets the listed minimum, but Steam recommends 32 GB. Steam does not promise a frame-rate target for either tier and says performance can vary with the number of active Pals.

Does Palworld require an SSD?

Yes. Steam marks an SSD as required at both tiers, with 40 GB of available storage.
