Path of Idle System Requirements for Windows and macOS

What are the Windows minimum requirements?

Component	Official minimum
OS	Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit
CPU	Intel Core i5-750 2.67 GHz or AMD A12-9800
Memory	8 GB RAM
GPU	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti or AMD Radeon HD 7770
DirectX	Version 11
Storage	2 GB available space

What are the Windows recommended requirements?

Component	Official recommended
OS	Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit
CPU	Intel Core i5-2300 2.80 GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
Memory	Steam currently displays “16 MB RAM”
GPU	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R9 270X
DirectX	Version 11
Storage	2 GB available space

The “16 MB RAM” recommended value is reproduced exactly because that is what the official listing currently shows. It is likely a listing error, so do not treat it as a real recommendation without developer correction.

What are the macOS requirements?

Level	OS and processor	Memory	Storage
Minimum	macOS 13.2.1+ on Apple Silicon, Apple M1	4 GB RAM	2 GB
Recommended	macOS 13.2.1+ on Apple Silicon, Apple M1	8 GB RAM	2 GB

What should you check before troubleshooting?

Confirm the game is running on a supported 64-bit Windows installation or Apple Silicon macOS, update graphics drivers, verify Steam files, and reproduce the issue before changing several settings. The official requirements do not guarantee a specific frame rate or resolution target.

Source and verification

Every table value was checked against the official Steam store page on August 21, 2026. The suspicious recommended-memory value is explicitly labeled instead of silently “corrected.”
