11 SAND: Raiders of Sophie requires a 64-bit processor and operating system, and a broadband internet connection, since it is an always-online multiplayer PvPvE game. The following minimum and recommended specifications are the ones published on the game's Steam store page for its Early Access launch. As an Early Access title, these figures may still be refined during Early Access. They cover the PC version only; the developers have not published console specifications for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.

1111 Platform Notes
1212  
1313 The game is Windows-only on its PC storefront; there are no macOS or Linux builds listed. A Linux route does exist in practice, since the developers noted during the pre-launch tests that the compatibility layer works provided the BattlEye runtime is installed, but it is not an advertised platform and is not covered by the requirements above.

17+The publisher's support pages and the September 2026 patch notes list a handful of hardware-specific problems. None of them changes the requirements above, but they are worth knowing before blaming the specification.
