Can my PC run ArcheAge Chronicles?
Steam Early Access opens Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at 3 PM PST, for $29.99. The official minimum is an RTX 2060 Super or RX 6600 (8 GB VRAM) with an i5-10400 or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM and 100 GB on an SSD, and that only targets 30 FPS at 1080p Low with upscaling. Recommended asks for 32 GB RAM and an RTX 4060 Ti 16GB or RX 7700 XT. Official specs are published on Steam, so this checker compares your parts to them.
Heads up: it is an Early Access game, so specs and performance can change. It also uses XIGNCODE3 kernel-level anti-cheat with a third-party EULA (Players Realm - ArcheAge Chronicles Early Access Nov 3: price, release time, anti-cheat (secondary source)).

Does the 8 GB RTX 4060 Ti count as recommended?
Steam lists the 16 GB RTX 4060 Ti and says 12 GB of VRAM, so the 8 GB version falls short of the recommended VRAM. Our checker lists the 4060 Ti as the 8 GB card, so it shows as minimum tier. That VRAM call is ours, based on the 12 GB figure.
