Steam currently publishes a demanding minimum specification and requires an SSD; no separate recommended tier is listed in the official store data.
Mortal Shell II's current minimum PC specification requires Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB RAM, a DirectX 12 graphics card with 8 GB VRAM, 70 GB of available storage, and an SSD. Steam does not currently publish a separate recommended tier in its store data, so any “recommended” list elsewhere should be labeled as an estimate rather than an official requirement.
Official minimum specification
| Component | Official minimum |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 or Windows 11 |
| Processor | Intel Core i7-10700K at 3.8 GHz or better, or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 at 3.6 GHz or better |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB or AMD Radeon RX 6600 8 GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 70 GB available |
| Additional requirement | SSD required |
These are purchase-floor requirements, not a promise of a particular resolution, frame rate, or graphics preset. The store does not attach a performance target to the minimum tier. If your hardware only meets the line exactly, begin with conservative settings and verify actual frame pacing in the opening area before increasing image quality.
The two easy-to-miss requirements
The first is VRAM: both named minimum GPUs are 8 GB models. A card with a similar product name but less video memory is not an exact match. The second is storage type: the listing says an SSD is required, not merely recommended. Keep additional free space beyond the 70 GB installation figure for updates, shader data, and temporary installation files.
What is not officially confirmed
Steam's current data lists Windows support and does not list macOS or Linux support. The official site links console purchase options, but console compatibility should be checked on the relevant PlayStation or Xbox store rather than inferred from the PC table. The store also does not publish an official recommended PC tier, a Steam Deck rating, or a guaranteed performance target in the requirements block checked on August 21.
If the game installs but combat is difficult to read, reduce visually expensive settings before changing gameplay timing. Stable frame delivery matters in a game centered on enemy posture and critical openings. For the actual first-session sequence, use the beginner guide.
