Frostpunk 1886 system requirement estimates

To run the Frostpunk 1886 requirements, we estimate you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, 12GB of RAM, and up to 50GB of space.

Frostpunk 1886 is a reimagining - not a remaster - of the original Frostpunk experience. That means one city and one mission: survive. No doubt, the Frostpunk 1886 system requirements will be considerably higher than the original Frostpunk system requirements owing to the move to Unreal Engine 5, and the upgrade in game mechanics and scope. So, while there aren't any official requirements for the game, we've taken a look at the Frostpunk 2 requirements, and predicted what the increased requirements will be come 2027. 

With the game due to release somewhere in 2027, we anticipate that the Frostpunk 1886 minimum requirements will call for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, an Intel Core i7-8700K processor, and about 12GB of RAM. Frostpunk, despite being a hauntingly beautiful series of games, has never required the best graphics card on the market to run well. For that reason, it is highly likely that even this remaster will not demand a powerful GPU. That said, the shift over to UE5 could change that significantly. 

So, we predict that the Frostpunk 1886 recommended specs will demand an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, an Intel Core i7-10700 CPU, and 16GB of RAM. This level of hardware should be just enough to keep pace with whatever Frostpunk 1886 has in store for us when it releases in 2027.
