The system requirements for working in GameDev are relatively high, and they depend on the engine being used and the type of game being developed. Since we work with Unreal Engine 5—a powerful and resource-intensive tool—the system requirements for it and other programs are quite significant. Let’s delve into this in more detail by listing the key programs, along with their minimum and recommended system requirements.
Throughout our time working in the team, we have had many different members with a variety of PC configurations—ranging from very powerful to quite weak. Based on personal experience, observations, and the issues we have encountered, we have developed our own system requirements based on approximately 50 different configurations.
