Crusader Kings 3 is the next entry in the highly popular grand strategy games from Paradox Interactive. Players will be able to guide their dynasties using diplomacy, war, and intrigue. The game is coming out this year, and we now know the Crusader Kings 3 PC System Requirements. Paradox Interactive has been on a roll with their strategy games, and are going all the way with this one.
Previous titles weren’t as demanding, but Crusader Kings 3 seems to push that with slightly higher requirements. Paradox Interactive has more titles coming out this year, including the role-playing game, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
Crusader Kings 3 PC System Requirements
If you are planning to get this on PC, you will need the following specifications.
Minimum Requirements
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows® 8.1 64 bit or Windows® 10 Home 64 bit
- Processor: Intel® iCore™ i5-750 or Intel® iCore™ i3-2120, or AMD® Phenom™ II X6 1055T
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 460, or AMD® Radeon™ R7 260X or AMD® Radeon™ HD 6970, or Intel® Iris Pro™ 580
Recommended Requirements
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows® 10 Home 64 bit
- Processor: Intel® iCore™ i5- 4670K or AMD® Ryzen™ 5 2400G
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 1650
Given how this is a grand strategy game, you will have access to a fairly large map. You will also navigate through various menus, and for it to run smoothly you will need a mid-budget system at least.
The requirements aren’t too demanding, and even a GTX 460 is more than enough to get the game running. However, to max it out, you will need something like a GTX 1650 or RX 580.
We recommend PC players to update their CPU to decent Core-i5s at least, as modern games will definitely require beefier CPUs.
Crusader Kings 3 Release Date
Crusader Kings 3 is headed to PC via Steam and Xbox Games Pass on 2nd September 2020.
