The Adventures of Tango Rio is out: PC requirements, Mac, Linux and Steam Deck

The Adventures of Tango Rio launched today, November 10, on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is a hand-drawn 2D point-and-click adventure from developer Bean - Adventure Agency and publisher Dionous Games. It draws on ’90s classics like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max: Hit the Road. The good news for your PC is that it asks for almost nothing. A 2 GHz dual-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM and a graphics card with OpenGL 2.0 support are enough. It is $11.19 on Steam with a 20% introductory discount that ends November 24, and there is a demo you can download first. Languages are English and Italian.

The Adventures of Tango Rio PC requirements

These are the Windows requirements from the Steam store page:

	Minimum	Recommended
GPU	Video card with at least 512 MB shared VRAM and OpenGL 2.0 support	Video card with at least 512 MB shared VRAM and OpenGL 2.0 support
CPU	2 GHz dual core	2.6 GHz dual core
RAM	2 GB	2 GB
Storage	2 GB	2 GB
OS	Windows XP, 64-bit	Windows 10, 64-bit

The minimum lists Windows XP, but the same page notes that starting January 1st, 2024, the Steam client only supports Windows 10 and later. In practice, that is your floor. The only differences between minimum and recommended are the CPU and the OS. Graphics, RAM and storage are identical.

Which GPU you need

None of the popular cards we checked comes close to the limit. Every one clears both the minimum and the recommended with an S grade, “Overkill”, measured against the recommended requirement. That includes a GTX 1650, a Radeon RX 580, an RTX 3050 and an Intel Arc B580. If your machine is getting old, this is one to keep in mind, and the low-end PC games list has more picks.

Mac, Linux and Steam Deck

On Mac and Linux the CPU, RAM, graphics and storage requirements match Windows. Only the OS changes:

macOS: Mac OS 10.7 minimum, Mac OS 11 recommended.
Linux: Ubuntu 12.04 minimum and Ubuntu 14.04 recommended, both 64-bit only.

If you play outside Windows, check the Mac games and Linux games we grade too.

On Steam Deck, Valve has not verified it yet. On paper, the Deck clears the minimum and our spec-based estimate gives it an S. That is an estimate from the specs, not a Valve test. The details are on the game’s Steam Deck page.
