Ashes of the Singularity II System Requirements Checker
Pick the tier closest to your machine and get an instant verdict against the official minimum and recommended specs — plus the days left until launch.

The Official Requirements at a Glance
The table mirrors the official Steam requirements snapshotted on November 7, 2026. The recommended tier pairs a strong 6-core CPU with an 8 GB GPU because massive battles are a simulation workload as much as a rendering one — and the official notes recommend installing on an SSD. For the full decode of why each row looks the way it does, read the system requirements guide.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 / 11 64-bit | Windows 10 / 11 64-bit |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 5 2400G / Intel i5-8500 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X / Intel Core i5-11600K |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | AMD RX 580 8GB / NVIDIA GTX 1660 (6GB) | AMD 6750 XT 8GB / NVIDIA RTX 3070 8GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 50 GB available space | 50 GB available space (SSD recommended) |
How the Verdict Works
The checker compares four self-reported tiers against the official two tiers. Anything below the official minimum on any component returns a below-minimum verdict with the cheapest upgrade path highlighted; meeting the minimum everywhere returns a minimum verdict with a note about late-game battles; and meeting the recommended CPU and GPU with 16 GB of RAM on an SSD returns the recommended verdict. It is deliberately conservative: borderline machines get the lower verdict, because the honest answer at this scale is that thousands-of-units battles punish wishful thinking.
What This Checker Cannot Tell You Yet
Two honest limits. First, it compares tiers, not benchmarks: a Ryzen 5 5600X and an i5-11600K are both "recommended tier" by design, even though real-world frame rates differ. Second, the game has not shipped — per-setting performance data does not exist yet, which is why this page links out to the requirements guide instead of inventing FPS tables. After the November 10, 2026 launch, the best-settings guide carries the measured per-setting impact, and this checker stays as the fast first verdict.
Check Your Machine
Select the tier that best matches your hardware. Nothing is uploaded — the verdict is computed in your browser.
Your verdict
Meets official minimum
You can run the game, but massive late-game battles may strain frame rates. A CPU or RAM upgrade is the lever that moves them most.
Launch day is in 3 days

When to Use This Checker
Three moments where a ten-second verdict saves an evening.
Before You Preorder
Confirm your machine meets the bar before money changes hands — refunds exist, but a ten-second check beats a refund ticket.
Before You Upgrade
Thousands of units make the CPU the lever that matters — check which side of the recommended line you sit on before buying parts.
On Launch Day
Settings arrive unoptimized for your machine; start from a verdict instead of trial and error during the first big battle.
Verify with AI Search
Ask AI search engines for the latest requirements, player-reported performance and driver notes.
AI answers may be out of date — the official Steam store page is always the source of truth for the requirement tiers.
Checker FAQ
Is this checker official?
The requirement tiers are the developer-published Steam specifications, snapshotted November 7, 2026. The verdict logic is ours: it compares your self-reported component tiers against those official tiers.
Does the checker upload anything?
No. There is no scan, no download and no upload — you select the tier closest to your hardware and the verdict is computed entirely in your browser.
My GPU meets recommended but my CPU only meets minimum — what happens?
You get the minimum verdict with a note: in this game the CPU carries the simulation of thousands of units, so a processor below the recommended tier is the first thing to upgrade.
