Roadcraft is taking the sandbox adventures of Snowrunner and Mudrunner to an entirely new level, which, as you’d expect, may put your PC to the test.
Playing Roadcraft on PC requires meeting the specs provided by the developer, and while you can choose to ignore them, do so at your own peril, as it will be you who faces the struggles.
In the ever-changing world of PC gaming, keeping on top of the latest specs and what’s required is no easy task, so we’re here to make it simpler if Roadcraft is on your wishlist.
Roadcraft PC Minimum Requirements
The Minimum Requirements for Roadcraft on PC are needed to run the game at a basic level, though you may still encounter issues in-game.
Without meeting the Minimum Requirements, you are unlikely to be able to launch Roadcraft at all and, if you do get into the game, can expect regular loading issues, freezes, and crashes. If your PC can’t meet the Minimum Requirements, it’s time to look at other platforms or upgrade your specs.
The specs were shared in the official Discord for Snowrunner, Expeditions, and Roadcraft.
| PC Spec | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 1500X / Intel Core I5-8400 |
| GPU | AMD Radeon RX 590 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Storage | 40 GB |
If your PC isn’t up to the specs above and you have access to a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, consider picking up the title there, as you won’t need to worry about the technical side of things. Plus, Roadcraft is fully cross-play compatible, so you can still play with your PC friends.
Roadcraft PC Recommended Requirements
Roadcraft’s recommended requirements were first announced in Discord on May 7, confirming the PC specs you should aim for to run the title without any issues.
The Recommended Requirements are significantly higher than the Minimum Requirements, which isn’t too surprising given the highly detailed physics created for the game, though it does mean you should be wary of issues if you cannot meet the specs detailed below.
If you can’t hit these specs, consider other options and keep an eye on the GeForce NOW service as that may be your best route to jumping into the title.
| PC Spec | Recommended Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 5800X / Intel Core I5-12600K |
| GPU | AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Storage | 40 GB |
