PAYDAY: Aces High, the co-op heist game from the PAYDAY series, unlocks on Steam tomorrow, November 5. Fast Travel Games develops and publishes it. You can play solo or in online co-op with up to three partners, with cross-platform multiplayer. One detail matters before anything else: it is VR only, so you need a headset connected to your PC. The minimum spec is modest. What is missing is a recommended spec, which Steam has not listed yet.
PAYDAY: Aces High PC requirements
These are the Windows requirements from the Steam page:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | GTX 1060 or RX 580 (6 GB VRAM) | Not listed |
| CPU | Core i5-7500 or Ryzen 5 1600 | Not listed |
| RAM | 12 GB | Not listed |
| Storage | 10 GB | Not listed |
| OS | Windows 10, 64-bit | 64-bit OS |
It also requires a broadband internet connection. Steam lists these supported headsets: Steam Frame, Index, Oculus Rift S, and Quest via Link. OpenXR support is listed too. There is no Mac or Linux version.
Which graphics cards run it
With only a minimum spec published, the useful comparison today is against that minimum. The reference card is the GTX 1060 6GB, and in our data it clears the bar. The GTX 1660 Super, the RTX 3060, the RX 7600, the Arc B580 and every other card on our list up to the RTX 5080 clear the minimum too.
Since there is no official recommended spec, no card shows as meeting it yet. Treat that as missing data, not a bad result.
Two cases deserve a closer look:
- GTX 1650: in our data it falls below the minimum.
- RX 580: Steam names it in the minimum. Even so, in our benchmark data it lands just under that line, so expect it to run at the edge.
On memory, if your PC has less than 12 GB of RAM, it falls short of the minimum.
What about Steam Deck?
Valve has not verified it. Our spec-based estimate is an F. That is a calculation from the requirements, not a test on the device. Keep in mind that the game is VR only. The details are on its Steam Deck page.
Can your PC run PAYDAY: Aces High?
Here is how your setup compares with the game’s requirements:
