Norland system requirements

To run the Norland requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, an Intel Core i3-8100 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and just 1GB of HDD or SSD space.

Norland is is a colony simulator game emulating a Rimworld meets Manor Lords theme. You'll start off with a noble and a few serfs and be expected to grow your kingdom from this small seed, which will inevitably put some strain on your PC as your kingdom expands to a considerable size. How will your family of nobles rule, and will your PC run the Norland system requirements?

The game is incredibly acccessible considering the Norland minimum requirements only call for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, an Intel Core i3-8100 processor, and 8GB of RAM. The graphics card alone released in 2016, meaning PCs that were considered mid-range in the last eight years leading up to Norland's release should have no issues running the game. However, given the nature of Norland's design, you may encounter lag and FPS issues if you do not meet a higher benchmark. More specifically, make sure you have a good CPU, because Norland will be quite CPU intensive.

To meet the Norland recommended specs, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 GPU, an Intel Core i5-1300F CPU, and 8GB of RAM. This isn't a considerable increase from the minimum requirements, but it should allow you to run Norland smoothly. Of course, if you build a large enough kingdom, even this benchmark might not be enough. A modern processor like the Intel Core i5-12500 CPU should be more than you ever need to run the game, no matter how big your settlement becomes or how numerous your populace grows.

Norland size

The Norland download size for PC comes in at 1GB of HD space. However, considering the nature of the game is very similar to Rimworld, you'll likely want to set a few GBs aside should your kingdom employ a vast swath of mods.

The developer has not stated that an SSD is required, but we would recommend installing the game onto an SSD regardless to improve the game's load times. So, if you need more space or want to make an upgrade, check the PCGamesN buyers guide for the best SSD for gaming.

Norland will run on PC system with Windows® 10 (64-bit) and upwards.
