11WARDOGS lists official PC system requirements on its store page. Because the game launched first on PC, through early access on 10 September 2026, these figures cover the Windows build. The announced PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, which the studio has dated to 2028, do not have published specifications yet. The game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system and a broadband internet connection, since it is a multiplayer-only title.22Minimum44The minimum tier targets 1080p on Low settings at 60 frames per second or better, with upscaling, according to the note on the listing.5+The minimum tier targets 1080p on Low settings at 60 frames per second, with upscaling, according to the note on the listing.66ComponentMinimumOperating systemWindows 10 (64-bit)ProcessorIntel Core i5 8600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500Memory16 GB RAMGraphicsNvidia GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 590Storage50 GB available spaceNetworkBroadband internet connectionTarget1080p Low at 60 fps (upscaled)88Recommended99The recommended tier targets 1440p on Medium settings at 70 frames per second or better at native resolution, or 4K on Medium at 60 frames per second or better with upscaling.1111ComponentRecommendedOperating systemWindows 11ProcessorIntel Core i7 12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700XMemory16 GB RAMGraphicsNvidia RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XTStorage50 GB available spaceNetworkBroadband internet connectionTarget1440p Medium at 70 fps or higher (native), or 4K Medium at 60 fps or higher (upscaled)1313Notes1414Both tiers ask for 16 GB of RAM and reserve the same 50 GB of storage, so neither memory nor install size separates them: the step up is the graphics card, the processor, and the move from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The published figures did not change at launch, and as of 11 September 2026 both tiers read exactly as they did on the pre-launch listing. Requirements may still change during early access as the game is optimised, and they apply to the PC version only. Both figures were re-read on 14 October 2026 and are unchanged from the launch listing. Storage in particular has moved before, from 30 GB minimum and 40 GB recommended earlier in 2026, so a lower figure quoted elsewhere is out of date rather than a different tier.1616One operating system problem has been patched since launch: Update 0.1.2 on 30 September 2026 fixed WD-L020 crashes caused by the Windows 11 update KB5124010.1818Graphics Options2020Beyond the two hardware tiers, the game exposes graphics options so players can tune it to their own machine, and the studio says it has continuously optimised across a wide range of hardware. Its performance breakdown walks through the extremes of those settings, labelling the low end Potato Mode and the high end Overkill Mode, and covers client performance, visual fidelity, and networking alongside them. The developers say testers consistently remark on how well the game already runs.2222Store Listing Features2424The store listing also declares a set of technical and platform features that sit outside the hardware tiers.2626FeatureDetailPlatformsWindows only; the listing declares no macOS or Linux supportMultiplayerOnline player-versus-player only; there is no offline or single-player modeAnti-cheatKernel-level anti-cheat, named on the listing as ElytraAchievementsTen Steam achievements, added at the early access launchAccessibilityFour accessibility features are listed: camera comfort, custom volume controls, stereo sound, and surround soundLanguagesFourteen supported languages; English is the only one with full audio, and the other thirteen are interface onlyInteractive elementsIn-game chat and online interactivityFamily sharingListed at launch, but no longer listed as of 14 October 2026Steam DeckRated Unsupported as of 14 October 2026, with the listing's test result stating that SteamOS does not support the gameController supportNot supported; every controller and gamepad flag on the listing is switched off, re-checked on 14 October 20262828Two of those listed features have more behind them than a single line. The kernel-level anti-cheat and the server browser that feeds every match are covered in detail, alongside player-run servers, under Servers and Anti-Cheat.2929Controller Support3131Controller support is the one place where two first-party statements do not quite say the same thing, and both are worth having.3333SourceWhat it saysThe store listingDeclares no controller support at all. Every controller flag on the listing reads false, and the declaration wizard is marked complete, so this is a positive declaration of none rather than a field left blankThe developersThe pinned questions thread alongside the game states that controller support is limited in the current version3535The practical reading is that the game is built for keyboard and mouse, that whatever controller handling exists is partial, and that the storefront declaration has not been updated to describe it. Both statements were current on 14 October 2026. Update 0.1.2 on 30 September added gamepad support to the Deploy server selection screen, and the Season 2 preview lists controller responsiveness among the areas being improved, but the listing's declaration has not changed. Players flying aircraft have asked about joystick and throttle hardware specifically; as of 14 October 2026 the studio has published nothing on it.3636Linux and Cloud Streaming3838The listing supports Windows alone. The studio has said it does not officially support Linux, has not committed to supporting it, and is still working on Proton compatibility, so anything that did run through a compatibility layer during testing was incidental rather than supported. The publisher separately lists the game as playable through cloud streaming on GeForce NOW.
