DragonSword: Awakening System Requirements – Official PC Specs

#Minimum Requirements

According to the official Steam listing, the minimum PC specifications for DragonSword: Awakening are:

These specs will let you run the game, but you may need to lower graphical settings to maintain playable performance.

#Recommended Requirements

For a smoother experience with higher settings, Steam recommends:

The recommended hardware is primarily a CPU and GPU upgrade plus double the RAM. The storage requirement remains the same at 25 GB.

#Storage and SSD Requirement

Both the minimum and recommended specifications include a critical note: an SSD is strictly required for an optimal gameplay experience. The official Steam page warns that installing the game on a traditional HDD may result in:

• Extended loading times
• Texture pop-in
• Framerate drops
• Unexpected crashes

This is not a suggestion – the developer, Hound13 Inc., has marked the SSD as essential. If you try to run the game from an HDD, you risk severe performance issues.

#Additional Notes

• DirectX 12 is required at both tiers. Ensure your graphics card and Windows version support it.
• The game requires a 64-bit operating system; 32-bit systems are not supported.
• These requirements are taken directly from the Steam store page as of July 2026. No other specifications (e.g., for ultra settings or 4K resolution) have been published by the developer.
• The game was released on July 23, 2026 KST and is a premium single-purchase title; Hound13 says the former gacha mechanics were removed.
