Published 2024-04-11Updated 2026-09-193 min read
Official Slay the Spire 2 system requirements: Windows 10 64-bit or a dual-core 2.0 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, 1 GB VRAM and 4 GB storage. macOS 12+ and Ubuntu 20.04+/SteamOS specs inside.
Slay the Spire 2 is one of the least demanding games on Steam — and that is official, not speculation. The game runs on a 64-bit OS with a dual-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and a 1 GB graphics card, and it ships with full Windows, macOS and Linux support. If your machine has launched anything in the last decade, you can climb the spire.
Windows requirements (official)
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) with a 64-bit processor
- CPU: Dual-core 2.0 GHz
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- GPU: DirectX 12 or Vulkan compatible, 1 GB VRAM
- Storage: 4 GB available space
Recommended: the same baseline — Mega Crit's official recommended spec targets modern integrated graphics. This is a deckbuilder, not a ray-tracing showcase; the game is deliberately built to run everywhere.
macOS requirements (official)
- OS: macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or newer
- CPU: Intel Core i5 (dual-core)
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- GPU: Metal-compatible GPU with 1 GB VRAM
- Storage: 4 GB available space
Linux / Steam Deck requirements (official)
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, SteamOS 3.0 or newer
- CPU: Dual-core x86_64 at 2.0 GHz
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- GPU: Vulkan 1.0 or OpenGL 3.x compatible
- Storage: 4 GB available space
With native Vulkan support and a 4 GB install, the game is a natural fit for the Steam Deck and older Linux handhelds — no Proton workarounds required.
What this means in practice
The sequel adds co-op multiplayer and far more cards, relics and effects than the original, yet the official spec barely moved: any mainstream desktop or laptop from the last ten years runs it at full settings. If you are upgrading a machine specifically for this game, don't — put that budget toward the co-op party you are about to invite instead.
