The full system requirements for The Alters are here – and they require upscaling across the board.
11 bit Studios has already scored several hits with games such as This War of Mine and Frostpunk – now a science fiction game is set to follow with “The Alters.”
After our colleague Johannes has already tested The Alters extensively, it will be available to interested players on June 13, 2025. Just in time for the release, the developers have also announced the complete system requirements. The requirements for 4K enthusiasts are particularly new:
Minimum / 1080p / 30 fps
- CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600
- RAM:16 GB
- GPU:Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 570 / Intel Arc A570
- Storage:50 GB SSD capacity
Medium / 1080p / 60 Fps
- CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- RAM:16 GB
- GPU:Nvidia Geforce GTX 1600 (sic!) / AMD Radeon RX 5600XT
- Storage:50 GB SSD capacity
High / 1080p / 60 Fps
- CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- Memory:16 GB
- GPU:Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 6600XT / Intel Arc A770
- Storage:50 GB SSD capacity
Ultra / 2160p 60 Fps
- CPU: Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
- RAM:32 GB
- GPU:Nvidia Geforce RTX 4080 Super / AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
- Storage:50 GB SSD capacity
If you’re wondering what this strange “GTX 1600” GPU listed under Medium is, you’re not alone. At least on official websites, we couldn’t find any explanation as to which graphics card 11 bit Studios actually means here.
At least there is a benchmark tool that matches the game, where you can check your PC’s suitability for older games. Here you will also find recommendations for the graphics settings you can use.
Apart from that, the recommended memory capacity applies explicitly only to SSDs, which are also mandatory for the minimum requirements for The Altars. The resolution specification, on the other hand, refers to the use of upscaling. The Alters supports Nvidia DLSS 3.7, FSR 3, and Intel XeSS at launch.
