Revision 1

Embers of the Uncrowned is a PC-only release at launch, with published Minimum and Recommended hardware targets. The Minimum tier is what is needed to run the client at all; the Recommended tier is what the team expects for a smoother experience at higher settings. A console version has been mentioned as a possibility but is not part of the initial build. For wider context, see Platforms and Release and the Getting Started guide.

Minimum vs Recommended

Operating System and Anti-Cheat

Windows 11 (64-bit) is listed as the required operating system for both tiers. Older versions of Windows are not listed as supported, and there is no listing for macOS, Linux, or Steam Deck (Proton) compatibility at this time.

The game ships with a kernel-level anti-cheat solution called NGS, which loads a driver alongside the client at launch. Kernel-level drivers can conflict with other low-level software such as virtualization tools, overclocking utilities, or competing anti-cheat clients running at the same time. The anti-cheat is mandatory for online play and cannot be opted out of.

Supported Languages

At announcement, six supported languages are listed:

• English

• Simplified Chinese

• Russian

• German

• Spanish

• Portuguese

Additional locales are not currently listed. The supported language set may expand between the demo period and full launch.

Storage and AI Disclosure

Both tiers list the same install size: 30 GB of available drive space. A solid-state drive is not formally required, but is strongly advised; multiplayer zone transitions benefit from SSD throughput. Storage requirements may grow after launch as patches, raids, and expansions ship, so treat 30 GB as the launch-day baseline rather than a ceiling.

The official listing also carries an AI-generated content disclosure. The developer indicates that AI tooling has been used in aspects of the project's visuals, marketing materials, and localization passes. This disclosure is informational only and does not change what the player installs or how the game runs.

Practical Notes

• The Minimum CPU targets are several generations old, which suggests the game is built to scale down to mid-range and aging rigs at lower settings.

• The Recommended GPU pair (RTX 2060 / RX 5700 XT) is roughly the 2019 upper-mid tier, a sensible target for 1080p high settings.

• Doubling system memory from 8 GB to 16 GB is the single biggest jump between tiers; multiplayer zones and large raids benefit most from the extra headroom.

• Final specs can shift between announcement and launch; this page reflects what is published today.
