Groundwork Simulator PC System Requirements
Compare the currently listed Groundwork Simulator minimum PC requirements and see which performance details remain unpublished.

The current minimum lists Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1660 with 6 GB VRAM, DirectX 12 and 10 GB storage. Recommended requirements and Steam Deck performance are not yet published.
Minimum does not define a performance target
The store does not attach a resolution, frame rate or graphics preset to the minimum list. Meeting the parts list means the machine is within the published baseline, not that every large excavation or four-player session will hold a specific frame rate.
Terrain simulation may make CPU limits visible
Groundwork emphasizes deformable ground, vehicles, hydraulics and material handling. The official requirements do not say which system is the main bottleneck, so avoid presenting a component-specific performance claim before benchmarks exist.

Treat 16 GB as a floor
The official minimum already asks for 16 GB RAM. A system with exactly that amount should leave free memory for the game by closing heavy browser tabs and background tools, particularly during multiplayer sessions.
Steam Deck and Linux remain unconfirmed
The reviewed store lists Windows and DirectX 12. It does not publish native Linux support, a Proton rating, Steam Deck verification or handheld performance. Those answers require a live build and current compatibility testing.
Recheck after major Early Access patches
Requirements often change as maps, weather, vehicles and optimization work are added. This page should preserve the old reviewed date and update the table only when the official store changes.
