Mistfall Hunter System Requirements

Quick answer: To run Mistfall Hunter on PC you need at least Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i7-4770 / AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 12 GB RAM, a GTX 1060 / RX 580, DirectX 12, and 45 GB of storage — the recommended tier is an i7-9700 / Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM, and an RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT. An SSD is strongly recommended, and smooth 1080p generally wants 6–8 GB of VRAM. Neither tier promises a frame rate. See What Is Mistfall Hunter? and Player Count.

Mistfall Hunter is an Unreal Engine 5 title, and its official PC specifications were published on the Steam store page ahead of the July 29-30, 2026 launch. The figures above are transcribed from the official Steam listing and the Official Launch FAQ published by Bellring Games on July 24, 2026, and cross-checked against the launch-week coverage from GRYOnline.pl, Sportskeeda, and KeenGamer. Treat the Steam store page as the authoritative source, since third-party “Can I Run It” checkers sometimes show outdated or placeholder values.

Storage and SSD Notes

  • 45 GB of free space is required, per the official listing.
  • An SSD is strongly recommended. The current Steam listing attaches the same note — “Installing on an SSD is strongly recommended for a better gaming experience” — to both the minimum and recommended tiers, so plan for an SSD rather than a spinning HDD. Given the game’s shader-loading behavior at launch, an SSD makes the difference in practice.
  • No pre-download was offered at launch (per the Official Launch FAQ), so account for the full 45 GB download on release day.

Performance Context

Steam reviews and forum threads during launch week were full of stuttering and frame-drop reports on a wide range of hardware, from RTX 4080/4090/5090 rigs down to entry-level cards. Coverage attributes this mostly to Unreal Engine 5 shader compilation stutter and launch-day server congestion, which are hard to tell apart during busy fights. Bellring Games’ DevNote #7 (July 24, 2026) confirms the pre-launch optimization work: shader-precompilation stutter fixes, device tiering (auto-selected default graphics settings per hardware tier), dedicated tuning for consoles and low-end PCs, 2K/4K display support, frame-rate improvements in Camp areas, faster inventory/map UI, and fewer combat micro-stutters — with smoother asset loading, frame-rate and memory tuning, and crash fixes (including an AMD GPU hair-rendering bug) planned post-launch. On console, Softonic reported the game ships Quality and Performance modes, and that Bellring Games described the PlayStation 5 Pro version as the most polished of the lot — see the PS5 page for the full breakdown. For the settings that help most in practice, see the stuttering fix guide and FOV settings.

Meeting the minimum tier should let you run the game at lower settings; the Steam listing does not attach a target resolution, frame rate, or graphics preset to either tier, so do not read “minimum” as 60 FPS or “recommended” as max settings. For a reference point on a strong rig, Game Rant tested the recommended settings on an Intel i9-14900HX with an RTX 4080 and 32 GB of RAM and recorded roughly 140 FPS average with 1% lows around 105. Real-world numbers vary widely even above the recommended tier: Destructoid’s tester, on an AMD Radeon 9060 XT 16 GB with a Ryzen 7 5700X and 32 GB RAM, settled on a 60 FPS cap as the smoothest sweet spot, while Game8’s review logged drops into the low 30s and 20s before Mist Boss encounters (Game8 review , Destructoid settings guide ). Treat any single FPS figure as hardware- and area-dependent, and check the stuttering fix before blaming your GPU.

Because extraction runs are always online, the Broadband internet connection line in both tiers effectively acts as a hard requirement. Bellring Games confirmed European matchmaking servers in Germany ahead of launch (ixbt.games , July 27, 2026) — see Servers for regional coverage and What Is Mistfall Hunter? for the online-only structure.

Compatibility Notes: AMD, Intel & NVIDIA

  • CPU — Intel and AMD are both first-class. The minimum tier names an Intel Core i7-4770 or an AMD Ryzen 5 1400, and the recommended tier an i7-9700 or Ryzen 5 3600. DevNote #7’s “device tiering” work means the game auto-picks a default settings preset matched to your hardware, so low-end and high-end rigs both get a sensible starting point.
  • GPU — NVIDIA and AMD minimums. The entry bar is a GTX 1060 (NVIDIA) or RX 580 (AMD); the recommended tier is an RTX 2070 or RX 5700 XT. System Requirements Lab lists the minimum tier at 3 GB dedicated VRAM and the recommended tier at 8 GB; Sportskeeda’s guide pegs 6–8 GB of VRAM as the practical range for smooth 1080p. A common community rule of thumb for the in-game texture-quality preset: roughly 6 GB+ VRAM for Epic, ~4 GB for High, ~3 GB for Moderate (Kephren, July 30, 2026).
  • Upscaling — DLSS and FSR, plus RTX frame generation. The game’s anti-aliasing options include Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR — AMD’s official gaming channel confirms full FSR support (AMD Gaming ) — and some guides also suggest Unreal Engine’s TSR on NVIDIA hardware; community coverage mentions XeSS where supported. Nvidia RTX 40-series owners can enable DLSS frame generation for the largest FPS gain, at the cost of a little added input latency, per Game Rant’s guide.
  • Windows/Game Pass (Xbox PC) listing — slightly different wording. The Windows edition sold alongside the Xbox version (as aggregated by gg.deals ) names Windows 10 version 18362.0 or higher (the 1903 build) and a DirectX 12 GPU with Hardware Feature Level 11, plus a controller, microphone, and headset for the full experience — a marginally more specific baseline than Steam’s plain “Windows 10 64-bit.” See the Xbox page for the console/Game Pass side.

FAQ

What are the minimum requirements for Mistfall Hunter? Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 12 GB RAM, an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580, DirectX 12, broadband internet, and 45 GB of storage.

Do I need an SSD? Not strictly, but the official listing strongly recommends one. Launch-week stuttering reports were common even on SSDs, so a fast drive matters most for load times.

How much RAM does Mistfall Hunter need? 12 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended.

Is Mistfall Hunter on Steam Deck? Steam’s requirement list targets Windows 10 64-bit, and the PC version runs kernel-level anti-cheat (Bellring Anti-Cheat). Valve’s store compatibility details are the best place to confirm current Steam Deck status.

Where are the official specs published? On the Steam store page  and in the Official Launch FAQ posted in the Steam Community Hub on July 24, 2026.

Can I run Mistfall Hunter on my PC? Compare your hardware to the minimum tier: Windows 10 64-bit, an i7-4770 / Ryzen 5 1400 or better, 12 GB RAM, a GTX 1060 / RX 580-class GPU, DirectX 12, and 45 GB of free space. For smooth 1080p, launch-week coverage recommends roughly 6–8 GB of VRAM. A GPU under that VRAM level can still run the game, but expect lower settings and more stutter.

Does Mistfall Hunter support DLSS or FSR? Yes. The game’s anti-aliasing options include Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR, and some guides also suggest Unreal Engine’s TSR on Nvidia hardware. Nvidia RTX 40-series owners can enable DLSS frame generation for the largest FPS gain, at a small input-latency cost.

What GPU do I need for smooth 1080p in Mistfall Hunter? The minimum GPU is a GTX 1060 / RX 580. Launch-week coverage recommends roughly 6–8 GB of VRAM for steady 1080p (Sportskeeda), and System Requirements Lab lists 8 GB for the recommended tier.

What FPS can I expect in Mistfall Hunter on PC? The Steam listing publishes no FPS target for either tier. A Game Rant test on an i9-14900HX + RTX 4080 rig averaged about 140 FPS (1% lows ~105); Destructoid found a 60 FPS cap delivered the smoothest result even on a strong AMD build; and Game8 logged drops into the low 30s and 20s before Mist Boss encounters. Results depend heavily on your hardware, settings, and in-game area.

Is Mistfall Hunter optimized for AMD or NVIDIA? Both. The minimum and recommended tiers each name one NVIDIA and one AMD card, the game supports Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR (AMD’s official channel confirms full FSR support), and NVIDIA RTX 40-series owners can enable DLSS frame generation for the largest FPS gain.
