Joe & Mac Retro Collection is out on Steam: PC requirements and Steam Deck

Joe & Mac Retro Collection launched on Steam on October 28, bundling three games starring the caveman duo: Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, the original arcade adventure, the spin-off Congo’s Caper, and Joe & Mac: Lost in the Tropics. Red Art Games keeps the ’90s arcade spirit with local two-player co-op on the same screen, where each player manages their own health and competes for meat, and adds a challenge that throws the bosses from all three games at you one after another, to beat as fast as you can. It costs $17.99 and is currently 10% off. The good news for your PC: the requirements are so low that almost any 64-bit Windows 10 machine can run it.

Joe & Mac Retro Collection PC requirements

These are the requirements from the Steam page. The recommended spec only says you need a 64-bit processor and operating system:

	Minimum	Recommended
GPU	GeForce 9600 GT or AMD HD 3870 512MB	Not listed
CPU	Intel Core2 Duo E8400, 3.0GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, 3.0GHz	Not listed
RAM	4 GB	Not listed
Storage	400 MB	Not listed
OS	Windows 10, 64-bit	64-bit

The minimum also calls for DirectX 11. It is Windows only: Steam lists no Mac or Linux version.

Which GPUs run it

Every GPU on our list clears the minimum, from the most modest to the newest. A GTX 1650, a Radeon RX 580, a GTX 1060 6GB or an Intel Arc B580 all get S, Overkill on canirun. At 400 MB, it also fits on any drive.

If your PC has a few years on it, or you play on a laptop without a strong dedicated GPU, this is one of the new releases you can actually play. For more games like that, check our list of games for low-end PCs.

What about Steam Deck?

Valve has not verified it yet. Our spec-based estimate says the Deck clears the minimum and would get an S, but that is only an estimate from the specs, not a test on the device. You can see the details on the game’s Steam Deck page.
