Valor Mortis PC System Requirements — Minimum & Recommended
Valor Mortis launched on Steam October 13, 2026, and One More Level actually lowered the minimum and recommended specs on the store page around launch day after an earlier, more demanding pre-release listing. Here's the current breakdown, plus what the shared requirements and platform support mean for your setup.
01Shared Requirements
Both tiers share the same platform baseline:
- OS: Windows 10/11
- RAM: 16 GB
- DirectX: 12
- Storage: 60 GB, SSD required
02Minimum Requirements
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i5-10600K
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT or NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 60 GB SSD
- Target: 1080p at 30 fps on Low settings, with upscaling
03Recommended Requirements
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel Core i5-13400
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 or NVIDIA RTX 3070
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 60 GB SSD
- Target: 1440p at 60 fps on Medium settings, with upscaling
The store page confirms both tiers assume upscaling is on to hit their listed resolution/framerate targets, but it doesn't name which upscaler (DLSS, FSR, or XeSS). Reviewers who tested launch-day performance reported a one-time shader compilation step at first launch (roughly 10-plus minutes on mid-range CPUs), and multiple reviews flagged ongoing stutter, occasional crashes, and geometry-clipping even on higher-end PC setups — treat PC performance as a rough edge at launch rather than something reliably smooth.
04SSD Is Mandatory, Not Just Recommended
Both tiers specifically call for an SSD rather than just listing a storage size — there's no fallback HDD spec. If you're still running Valor Mortis off a mechanical hard drive, expect longer load times at minimum, and don't be surprised if the game simply performs worse than the CPU/GPU specs above suggest, since streaming-heavy engines like this one lean on SSD read speeds.
05Platforms and Where Else It's Coming
Valor Mortis released simultaneously on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 13, 2026, and is available day one on Xbox Game Pass (console and PC). If your PC falls short of even the minimum spec above, Xbox Game Pass on a Series X|S console is worth considering as an alternative way to play.
FAQ
What are the minimum PC requirements for Valor Mortis?
Windows 10/11, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i5-10600K CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT or NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 60 GB of SSD storage, targeting 1080p/30fps on Low with upscaling, per the game's Steam store page.
What are the recommended PC requirements for Valor Mortis?
An AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel Core i5-13400 CPU paired with an AMD Radeon RX 6800 or NVIDIA RTX 3070 GPU, the same 16 GB RAM and 60 GB SSD storage as the minimum tier, targeting 1440p/60fps on Medium with upscaling.
Does Valor Mortis need an SSD?
Yes — both the minimum and recommended tiers specifically require an SSD rather than allowing a mechanical hard drive, with 60 GB of space needed.
Did Valor Mortis's system requirements change before launch?
Yes. One More Level lowered both the minimum and recommended CPU/GPU requirements on the Steam store page around the October 13, 2026 launch, after an earlier pre-release listing called for notably higher-end hardware.
Can I play Valor Mortis without a gaming PC?
Yes — it released the same day, October 13, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and is available day one on Xbox Game Pass.
