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.

Minimum Requirements

ComponentRequirement
CPUAVX instruction set support required
GPUDirect3D 12.0 (Shader Model 6) or Vulkan 1.2
RAM8 GB minimum
OSWindows 10 (version 1909) or a modern Linux distribution
Storage6 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)
Most CPUs released after 2012 include AVX support. If you are unsure whether your processor qualifies, check your CPU’s specification sheet.

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:
VendorMinimum Model
NVIDIAGeForce GT 630 (Kepler architecture)
AMDRadeon HD 7750 (2012 release — not the RX 7000 series)
IntelHD Graphics 510 (Skylake, 6th Generation Core)
Press F1 while in-game to open the performance overlay. This displays real-time performance graphs alongside the name of the graphics device currently in use — useful for confirming that the game has selected your dedicated GPU rather than an integrated adapter, and for diagnosing performance issues.

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 TypeSpace 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.
