Permafrost PC System Requirements

Steam lists Permafrost for Early Access on October 9, 2026. These are the official minimum and recommended PC requirements checked August 14, 2026, not an independent benchmark.

Minimum requirements

Steam lists Windows 10 x64, an Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500, 16 GB RAM, and a GTX 1060 6GB or RX 590 8GB. The storage requirement is 30 GB.

  • OS: Windows 10 x64
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3500
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 590 8GB
  • Storage: 30 GB

Recommended requirements

The recommended block raises the processor to an Intel Core i5-12400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the graphics card to an RTX 3070 Ti 8GB or RX 6750 XT 12GB. Steam still lists 16 GB RAM and 30 GB storage.

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-12400 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti 8GB or AMD RX 6750 XT 12GB
  • Storage: 30 GB

What these figures mean

The listing gives hardware tiers but does not promise a universal resolution, frame rate, preset, or laptop performance result. Use the minimum block as the entry requirement and the recommended block as the published higher target, then leave room for updates before installing the Early Access build.

Not a benchmark

No FPS claim or settings preset is added unless Steam publishes it or a reproducible test records the build and hardware.

Before launch

Check the live Steam page on October 9 for any changed requirements, Early Access wording, or install-size update. The 30 GB value is required available space, not necessarily the compressed download size.
