WARDOGS System Requirements (PC Specs)
Official WARDOGS minimum and recommended PC requirements, storage, anti-cheat and what each spec tier actually targets in frames per second and resolution.
WARDOGS is a 100-player shooter with real-time destruction, so the requirements are meaningfully driven by CPU as well as GPU. These are BULKHEAD’s published figures for the Early Access build.
Minimum requirements
Targeting 1080p on Low at around 60fps.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-8600 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500 |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 / AMD Radeon RX 590 |
| Storage | 30 GB |
Recommended requirements
Targeting 1440p to 4K on Medium at around 60-70fps.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-12700K / AMD Ryzen 7 5700X |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 / AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT |
| Storage | 40 GB |
Reading these numbers
- The CPU gap is the real gap. An i5-8600 to an i7-12700K is a large generational jump. In a 100-player match with destruction, the CPU is frequently what limits your frame rate, not the graphics card.
- 16GB is a floor, not a comfort zone. With Windows, a browser and voice chat running alongside a 100-player shooter, 16GB is workable but tight. 32GB is the obvious upgrade if you are choosing where to spend.
- Storage is modest. 30-40GB is small for a modern shooter, which is consistent with a three-map Early Access launch. Expect it to grow as maps are added.
- An SSD is not listed but is strongly advisable. Large maps and fast respawn cycles are exactly the workload that punishes mechanical drives.
Anti-cheat
WARDOGS uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which installs a kernel-level driver. If you avoid kernel-level anti-cheat on principle or on a work machine, this is a blocking consideration rather than a preference.
Platform and language support
Early Access is Windows PC only, distributed through Steam. Steam lists English plus 13 further languages, including French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese and Ukrainian.
