The Relic First Guardian PC System Requirements

Looking for The Relic: First Guardian system requirements? This page tracks the official PC picture for Steam app 2827820 as the July 31, 2026 launch approaches. We will not invent GPU models or fabricated “recommended RTX” tables. When Project Cloud Games and Perp Games publish final minimum and recommended lines, they will replace the placeholders below.

Console players can skip the tables and jump to the PS5 notes — or use the release date page for the full platform matrix.

Official status (pre-launch)

As of late July 2026 store text, Steam still marks detailed PC specifications as to be confirmed (TBC) beyond a baseline note that the game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Treat any third-party article that lists exact CPU/GPU cutoffs without citing the Steam page as provisional.

Tier	Status	Notes
OS	Partial	64-bit OS required
Processor	TBC	Await official Steam lines
Memory	TBC	Await official Steam lines
Graphics	TBC	Await official Steam lines
Storage	TBC	Prefer SSD; reserve headroom for day-one patch
DirectX / Vulkan	TBC	Confirm on Steam at unlock

Practical prep while specs are TBC

Even without final numbers, Guardians can prepare responsibly:

1. Install on an SSD — soulslike traversal and texture streaming punish slow HDDs
2. Update GPU drivers during launch week, not six months later
3. Close overlay stacks (multiple Discord / GeForce / RGB overlays) if the opening region stutters
4. Reserve disk headroom — modern action RPGs often land in the tens of GB; leave space for a day-one patch
5. Verify Steam download region and pause other large downloads on launch evening
6. Bookmark Official Links and the updates hub for hotfix notes

Launch-night performance checklist

When the countdown hits zero:

• Install the base game, then apply any day-one update before judging frame time
• Start on a balanced preset; change one setting at a time
• Test both a quiet exploration stretch and a Brutal arena — traversal and boss particle density differ
• If stutter appears only near campfires or elemental skills, note it for patch tracking rather than immediately blaming your GPU
• Re-read Controls if you remap on PC after the first session

How PC differs from PS5 for Guardians

PlayStation 5 digital owners share the July 31 date. Physical discs arrive September 4. PC players gain settings freedom but also the responsibility of driver and background-process hygiene. Combat rules — defense-only stamina, cooldown skills, Relic progression — are the same across platforms. Prep those systems via Combat and Parry and Relics and builds regardless of hardware.

What we will add when specs publish

• Plain-English translation of minimum vs recommended
• A “can I run it?” checklist without affiliate scare tactics
• Notes if ultrawide, frame generation, or upscalers are officially supported
• Links to any official performance patches on the updates hub

Until then, ignore clickbait that claims secret “4K 60 guaranteed” targets. Prefer Steam’s store page and Perp Games posts.

Keep this page open beside Steam. When the TBC label disappears, we will rewrite the tables the same day — and you can spend your energy on Arsiltus instead of spreadsheet myths.
