Neither BLACK SOULS game is demanding — these are engine-light RPGs whose requirements are about compatibility, not power. Here are the official Steam listings and what they mean in practice.
BLACK SOULS
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 | Windows 11 |
| Processor | 3+ GHz | 3+ GHz |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | DirectX 10 / OpenGL 4.1 capable GPU | OpenGL ES 2.0 driver support (WebGL acceleration) |
| DirectX | Version 10 | Version 11 |
| Storage | 1 GB | 2 GB |
BLACK SOULS II
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 | Windows 11 |
| Processor | 3+ GHz | 3+ GHz |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | DirectX 11 / OpenGL 4.1 capable GPU | OpenGL ES 2.0 driver support (WebGL acceleration) |
| DirectX | Version 11 | Version 11 |
| Storage | 2 GB | 4 GB |
What this means in practice
- Any desktop or laptop from roughly 2013 onward qualifies, integrated graphics included. The 3 GHz processor line is the only spec that occasionally trips very low-power machines (some ultra-budget laptops boost below it) — and even then, turn-based gameplay is forgiving of a weak CPU.
- The WebGL note in the recommended specs reflects the games’ rendering path; in practice it means “have GPU drivers from this decade.” If your browser can run WebGL demos, your machine clears the bar.
- The sequel asks slightly more (DirectX 11 minimum vs 10, double the storage) — still nothing a functioning Windows 10 machine lacks.
Platform notes
- macOS / Linux: not supported officially. Linux users commonly run both via Proton; unofficial, but the lightweight engine profile is the favorable case.
- Steam Deck: Windows-only listing; check each store page’s current Deck rating before buying specifically for Deck. Games with this profile frequently run via Proton but may need a community control template for mouse-driven menus.
- Mobile: no Android or iOS version exists — details and safe alternatives on the APK status page.
