Official minimum requirements
Steam lists Windows 10 or newer, an Intel Core i5-4590, 8 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290, 2 GB of storage, and an OpenXR- or SteamVR-compatible headset.
- OS: Windows 10 or newer
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4590
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- GPU: GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290
- Storage: 2 GB available space
Official recommended graphics
The recommended listing keeps the same CPU, memory, and storage values but moves the graphics target to a GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon R9 290. Motion controllers are part of the listed VR setup.
Check the runtime before blaming performance
Confirm that the headset and controllers are visible in the runtime you intend to use, update the graphics driver, and test a clean launch before changing several settings at once. If camera shake or performance problems remain, record the headset, refresh rate, runtime, and current game build.
- Start with one active OpenXR runtime.
- Recenter and verify floor height before loading a save.
- Lower one graphics setting at a time so the result is measurable.
