Destiny 2 System Requirements

To run the Destiny 2 system requirements for the Epic Games Store giveaway, you will need a GeForce GTX 660 GPU, an Intel Pentium G4560 CPU, and 6GB of RAM.

The Destiny 2 system requirements are understandably low, given that the game debuted on last-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles,so it shouldn't take a particularly strong gaming PC to get stuck into Bungie's FPS.

The most demanding part of the Destiny 2 minimum system requirements is the game's 105GB footprint on your gaming SSD or hard drive, meaning you might need to clear some space on your storage solution of choice for it. In terms of CPUs, anything as powerful as an Intel Pentium G4560 or AMD FX-4350 paired with 6GB of RAM should be enough. An Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7850 graphics card will grant you entry to Destiny 2 but you shouldn't expect to get particularly high frame rates or run higher quality settings. 64-bit versions of Windows 7, and 8.1 are supported, but we'd strongly suggest running the game on Windows 10 64-bit.

Moving on to the Destiny 2 recommended system requirements, a chip that can match or exceed an Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor complemented with 8GB of RAM is plenty fine for this co-op shooter. It's quite a jump on the GPU front, with Bungie recommending an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or AMD R9 390, which should assist you in getting the most out of Destiny 2's visuals and get you to a stable level of performance.
