The Precinct is causing quite a stir ahead of its release, and, like all games releasing on PC, the required specs are crucial. To prevent you from countering any surprise issues, we’ve got all the details you need.
Launching May 13 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the top-down approach to the game means the requirements on PC are perhaps not as strict or expensive as many AAA releases, though there’s still a benchmark to meet.
Pull up your PC specs and compare them to what’s listed by Steam itself to double-check that you can run The Precinct upon launch.
The Precinct PC Minimum Requirements
There are two categories for The Precinct’s requirements on PC, with the Minimum Requirements showing what’s needed to run the game at a basic level and the Recommended Requirements detailing the suggested specs to prevent any running issues.
Obviously, the better your PC specs are compared to the Recommended Requirements, the better the performance of The Precinct will be, and anything below that level may encounter issues—so bear that in mind if you can only hit the Minimum Requirements.
If you can’t hit The Precinct’s Minimum Requirements, you may face basic launching issues that prevent you from playing entirely, so make sure you check everything before you first launch the game.
| PC Spec | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-7600K / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 660Ti / AMD Radeon R7 370 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| DirectX | Verion 11 |
| Storage | 8 GB Available Space |
The Precinct PC Recommended Requirements
The Recommended Requirement PC Specs for The Precinct specify what is required to enjoy a playing experience without annoying issues like crashes, stuttering, lag, and similar. Although these may still happen, as they can in any game, they’re least likely to if you meet the specs.
In general, you should aim to hit the Recommended Requirements as close as you can, ideally hitting all the PC specs, but at the very least, hitting a handful of them.
As The Precinct doesn’t have the same graphical demands as some AAA titles, like Elden Ring Nightreign, it should be a more cost-friendly PC to build, if you need to.
| PC Spec | Recommended Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-10400F / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| DirectX | Version 11 |
| Storage | 8 GB Available Space |
