Ashes of the Singularity II, the massive-scale RTS from Oxide Games and Stardock, launches tomorrow, November 10, 2026, on Steam, Windows only. The team is holding a release day livestream that day at 1:00 PM EST on YouTube, Steam and Twitch. For your PC, the minimum is approachable: an 8 GB RX 580 or a GTX 1660 with 8 GB of RAM. The recommended tier asks for an RTX 3070 or RX 6750 XT, and both tiers require DirectX 12.
Ashes of the Singularity II PC requirements
These are the official requirements from the Steam page:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | AMD RX 580 8GB or NVIDIA GTX 1660 (6GB) | AMD RX 6750 XT 8GB or NVIDIA RTX 3070 8GB |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 2400G or Intel i5-8500 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i5-11600K |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 50 GB (SSD recommended) | 50 GB (SSD recommended) |
| OS | Windows 10 / 11 64-bit | Windows 10 / 11 64-bit |
Both tiers list DirectX 12 and a broadband internet connection. The SSD is a recommendation, not a requirement. The game puts thousands of units on continent-sized maps, with a Strategic Zoom that moves from orbital command down to the front line. It has a single-player campaign, co-op and competitive multiplayer, and three factions: the United Earth Forces, the Post-Human Coalition and the AI Substrate.
Which graphics cards run it
Canirun grades are measured against the recommended requirement, with 16 GB of RAM:
- Meet or beat the recommended: the RTX 3070 and RTX 4070 grade B. The RTX 5070, RTX 5080 and RX 9070 XT grade A.
- Between minimum and recommended: the RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 4060, RX 6600 XT and RX 7600 grade C. The 3060 Ti lands just under the recommended. The GTX 1660 Super, RTX 2060, RTX 3050 and Arc B580 drop to D: they clear the minimum, but expect to lower your settings.
- On the edge: the RX 580 and GTX 1060 6GB clear the minimum but grade F against the recommended. The game will launch, but it will struggle.
- Below: the GTX 1650 does not reach the minimum.
What about Steam Deck?
Valve has not verified it yet. Our spec-based estimate grades it F and puts it below the minimum, so don’t count on it for the handheld until there is an official rating. You can follow it on its Steam Deck page. On Steam there is no Mac or Linux version.
Can your PC run Ashes of the Singularity II?
Here is how your hardware grades against the game’s recommended spec:
| Game | Rec. GPU score | Rec. RAM | Min. RAM | Your PC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ashes of the Singularity II | 19,850 | 16 GB | 8 GB | ? |
