This page lists the minimum hardware and software requirements needed to run Unleashed Recompiled. Because the port uses static recompilation rather than emulation, it targets modern PC hardware directly — meaning your system must meet specific CPU instruction set and graphics API requirements that differ from a typical emulator setup.Documentation Index

Minimum Requirements
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| CPU | AVX instruction set support required |
| GPU | Direct3D 12.0 (Shader Model 6) or Vulkan 1.2 |
| RAM | 8 GB minimum |
| OS | Windows 10 (version 1909) or a modern Linux distribution |
| Storage | 6 GiB (without DLC) · 10 GiB (with DLC) |
Component Details
CPU
The recompiled code makes use of the AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) instruction set. Your processor must support AVX — the following represent the oldest CPU generations that qualify:- Intel: Sandy Bridge (Intel Core 2nd Generation, e.g. Core i5-2500)
- AMD: Bulldozer (AMD FX series, e.g. FX-8150)
GPU
Your graphics card must support Direct3D 12.0 with Shader Model 6 or Vulkan 1.2. The following represent the oldest GPU models known to meet this requirement:| Vendor | Minimum Model |
|---|---|
| NVIDIA | GeForce GT 630 (Kepler architecture) |
| AMD | Radeon HD 7750 (2012 release — not the RX 7000 series) |
| Intel | HD Graphics 510 (Skylake, 6th Generation Core) |
RAM
A minimum of 8 GB of system RAM is required. No recommended value above this minimum has been specified, but more RAM will generally improve stability at higher settings.Operating System
- Windows: Windows 10 version 1909 or later
- Linux: Any modern distribution is supported. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is a well-tested example. Native Flatpak builds are available for Steam Deck and similar Linux devices.
macOS is not on the official roadmap. Community-driven efforts to add support via the Metal graphics API are in progress. See the Introduction page for more details.
Storage
| Installation Type | Space Required |
|---|---|
| Base game (no DLC) | 6 GiB |
| Base game + all DLC (Adventure Packs) | 10 GiB |
Additional storage space may be required if uncompressed game files are provided during the installation process. Ensure you have adequate free space before beginning installation, especially on devices with limited storage such as the Steam Deck’s 64 GB model.
