Metro Awakening system requirements

Can I run Metro Awakening?

To run the Metro Awakening system requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU, an Intel Core i7-9700 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and about 60GB of space.

Vertigo Games, the developer of Metro Awakening and numerous other VR titles, has stated that the minimum Metro Awakening PC requirements are quite demanding. 

The Metro Awakening minimum requirements require an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card, an Intel Core i7-9700 processor, and 16GB of RAM. Anything short of this high bar is likely to encounter significant performance issues due to the complication of VR controls. Fortunately, if you can meet this hardware requirement, you should be able to play the game at an optimum level.

This is because the developer has not listed any Metro Awakening recommended specs, indicating that the game will run perfectly fine on its entry-level requirements (which, in fairness, are quite high). However, that doesn't mean you won't necessarily encounter any FPS drops or Metro Awakening performance issues, so we recommend aiming to play on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, an Intel Core i5-10600K CPU, and 16GB of RAM to ensure you get a stable FPS rate.

Metro Awakening size

The estimated Metro Awakening size for download is 60GB of SSD space. Due to the performance issues that generally accompany larger-scale VR games, a HDD likely won't cut it.
