Dungeon Settlers' official PC and Mac system requirements — Windows 10 and a Core 2 Duo minimum, macOS Big Sur with Metal graphics, and 2 GB of storage.
FAQ
Can my Mac run Dungeon Settlers?
Is there a recommended spec for Dungeon Settlers?
Does Dungeon Settlers support Linux or Steam Deck?
Dungeon Settlers launched on Steam for Windows and macOS on September 4, 2026. The official requirements are low — a decade-old laptop clears the minimum. Here’s the full breakdown from the Steam page.
What are the PC requirements?
| Minimum (Windows) | |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or newer (64-bit) |
| Processor | Core 2 Duo |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Intel HD Graphics 4000 or other shader model 4.0 |
| Storage | 2 GB available space |
No recommended tier is published — only the minimum.
What are the Mac requirements?
| Minimum (macOS) | |
|---|---|
| OS | macOS 11.0 Big Sur |
| Processor | Intel 64-bit or Apple Silicon |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Metal-capable GPU |
| Storage | 2 GB available space |
Mac support dates back to the demo era — in an edit to the demo announcement, CanOpener noted “From demo version, Mac is supported.”
Will it run on Steam Deck or Linux?
- Steam Deck: rated Playable by Valve — controller icons, small text, and manual resolution setup are the caveats. Details: Dungeon Settlers on Steam Deck
- Linux: not at launch. The official roadmap lists Linux support among the V1.0 plans (estimated Q3 2028)
One performance caveat for Early Access
The launch-day roadmap is candid that optimization has “barely been done yet” — some machines reportedly crash on entering the game, and updating the graphics driver is the suggested first fix. If you’re on minimum-spec hardware, expect the experience to improve across Early Access; see our known issues page.
