Dimraeth System Requirements
The store publishes a short, readable requirements table for Dimraeth. It is worth reading closely, because the two questions players ask most about it - whether a Steam Deck counts and whether the game needs a connection - are not actually answered by the table itself.
Minimum requirements#
These are the store's own published minimums for Dimraeth, copied as a checklist rather than paraphrased, because requirement tables are exactly the kind of material where a paraphrase loses the part that matters.
- OS: Windows 10
- Processor: Intel Core i3 (4th generation) or AMD equivalent
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 or AMD Radeon R7 260X, or integrated Intel UHD 620
- DirectX: version 11
- Storage: 5 GB available space
- Network: broadband internet connection
- The store adds that the game runs on most modern laptops and desktops
Recommended requirements#
The recommended tier is a meaningful step up rather than a token one: it moves from integrated graphics to a discrete card and doubles both memory and storage. If you are buying or upgrading for this game, the gap between these two lists is where the money goes.
- OS: Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Processor: Intel Core i5 (6th generation) or AMD Ryzen 3
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD RX 560 or better
- DirectX: version 12
- Storage: 10 GB available space
- Network: broadband internet connection
- The store describes this tier as designed for smooth performance on modern mid-range PCs
Windows only, and what that leaves out#
The store lists Windows as the only supported platform, with no macOS and no Linux build. That matters for two groups of players. Mac owners have no supported route at all, and Linux desktop players do not get a native build either.
A Steam Deck is a separate question rather than a Linux version of this one. The Deck runs SteamOS, so what matters there is handheld compatibility and input, not whether a Windows build exists. The next section covers that.
Steam Deck and handhelds#
The developer's own FAQ states that Dimraeth launches on PC via Steam with full support for the Steam Deck, and a pre-launch developer post describes testing the game on a personal Deck with base combat already running and full controller support planned. That is a developer statement about intent and testing, and it is the strongest claim available.
It is not the same thing as a Valve rating. Valve's compatibility service returns no published category for this game, so there is no verified, playable or unsupported badge to point at. Treat Deck support as advertised by the developer and unrated by Valve, and check the store's own compatibility line before you rely on it.
The broadband line, and the offline question#
Both the minimum and the recommended tier list a broadband internet connection. That is worth flagging, because Dimraeth also has a complete solo route, so the presence of a network line is not self-explanatory. It may reflect the co-op and account layer rather than a requirement to be online at all times.
Whether a fully offline solo session works is not addressed in any of the first-party material reviewed for this page, and players have asked about it without a public answer. This guide does not guess. If offline play matters to your purchase, treat it as unconfirmed and verify it yourself.
Checking your own machine#
- Compare your graphics card against both tiers, not just the minimum, because the recommended tier is where the Discrete graphics requirement actually starts
- Check free space on the drive you install to: the store asks for 5 GB minimum and 10 GB recommended, and Early Access builds grow
- On a laptop, confirm whether you are actually using the discrete GPU rather than the integrated one, since the minimum tier accepts integrated graphics and the recommended tier does not
- If you are on a Steam Deck, read the compatibility line on the store page rather than assuming a badge
FAQ#
Can Dimraeth run on a laptop?
The minimum tier accepts integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics and the store says the game runs on most modern laptops and desktops. The recommended tier asks for a discrete graphics card, so a laptop with only integrated graphics is a minimum-tier machine rather than a comfortable one.
Does Dimraeth run on Mac or Linux?
No. The store lists Windows as the only supported platform, with no macOS and no Linux build. Steam Deck is not a Linux install of the game, so it is covered separately.
How much storage does Dimraeth need?
The store asks for 5 GB of available space at minimum and 10 GB at recommended. Early Access builds usually grow, so treat 10 GB as the number to plan around.
Do I need to be online to play Dimraeth?
Broadband internet is listed under both the minimum and recommended tiers, but the game also has a full solo route, and no first-party source reviewed for this page states whether a completely offline session works. Treat offline play as unconfirmed and check it yourself if it matters.
Does Dimraeth support Steam Deck?
The developer says the game has full Steam Deck support and has described testing it on a Deck. Valve publishes no compatibility rating for Dimraeth, so there is no Verified or Playable badge to rely on and handheld performance is worth checking yourself.
