Revision - system requirements - Chrono Odyssey Wiki

Overview

Chrono Odyssey is an action MMORPG in development at Chrono Studio for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a target window of Q2 2027. The only hardware specifications published so far are for PC. They first appeared alongside the June 2025 Closed Beta Test, and as of October 2026 the store listing still shows the same figures.

Treat them as the closed beta baseline rather than final launch requirements. In September 2026 the developers announced an outside hardware testing program whose benchmark data is meant to produce more detailed official minimum and recommended specifications before release.

PC Specifications

Component	Minimum	Recommended
Operating System	Windows 10 (64-bit)	Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor	Intel Core i5-3570K / AMD FX-8310	Intel Core i7-12700K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Memory	16 GB RAM	32 GB RAM
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6600	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
DirectX	Version 11	Version 12
Storage	50 GB available space	50 GB available space

Both tiers require a 64-bit processor and operating system. The listing does not name an SSD requirement, a Windows 11 entry, or a target resolution or frame rate for either tier, and the figures have not changed since they were first posted for the closed beta in June 2025.

Consoles

No resolution modes, frame rate targets or storage figures have been published for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S as of October 2026. Neither console version has been shown in a public test: the June 2025 closed beta ran on PC only.

Store Listing Details

Item	Detail
Interface and subtitle languages	English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil), Korean and Traditional Chinese
Full audio	English and Korean only
PC storefronts	Steam and the Epic Games Store
Release date shown	To be announced (October 2026)

Performance in the Closed Beta

Performance and stability were among the most common complaints from the June 2025 test. Looking back in September 2026, the developers summed up the problem as frame drops and crashes, including cases where the game struggled to run smoothly even on higher-end PCs.

The studio had warned at the start of the test that players might run into FPS drops and network instability, and its closing message said performance and system stability issues were under in-depth review. See Closed Beta Test for the wider reception.

Optimization Work Since the Beta

Date	Update	What Was Announced
July 2025	Developer's Notes #2, Part I	Rendering restructured to cut GPU load (high-detail Nanite geometry only where needed, instanced meshes for repeated assets, fewer draw calls); collision data split from rendering data and loaded by proximity to save memory; a dynamic loading system that scales streamed area and asset quality to the player's hardware; retuned Temporal Super Resolution, plus DLSS and FSR upscaling on compatible graphics cards
December 2025	Developer's Notes #3	Shader calls per frame cut by about 40 percent and average memory use by about 20 percent; world streaming refined to reduce GPU usage swings during long sessions
May 2026	Developer's Notes #5	A multi-channel server architecture to manage player density, aimed at keeping crowded regions and large world events running smoothly
September 2026	Developer's Notes #6	An update given over entirely to PC optimization, announcing the outside hardware testing program described below

The streaming and loading side of this work is covered in more detail on the Open World page.

September 2026 Hardware Testing Program

On September 22, 2026, the day Developer's Notes #6 went up, publisher Kakao Games announced a memorandum of understanding with a South Korean IT and hardware media community to test the game across a broad range of PC configurations. The stated plan:

The in-game graphics options are to be divided into finer settings.
The partner runs the game through its own hardware test program on many systems, checking compatibility and measuring frame rate stability, rendering performance and other factors that affect how the game runs.
The resulting benchmark data is to be used to set out the official minimum and recommended specifications in more detail.
Beyond a two-tier spec sheet, the plan is to publish performance reference points for specific combinations of resolution, graphics options and target frame rate, so players can judge which settings suit their hardware.
Testing covers mainstream PCs and handheld gaming PCs, not only high-end systems.

Developer's Notes #6 adds that work is also continuing on character movement and animation, input responsiveness, controls and UI/UX. As of October 2026 no revised specification sheet, benchmark table or handheld result has been published.
