AION 2 System Requirements

Every populated value in the comparison below comes from the official AION 2 Steam listing reviewed on August 30, 2026. The two storefront reads used for collection agreed on Windows, memory, storage, and the overall requirement tiers. The project’s separate verification report is stricter about GPU alternates, so the published table keeps only the NVIDIA models independently confirmed there.

Use the filter to isolate a component, or activate a column heading to sort the rows. Sorting changes presentation only and does not imply that one component matters more than another. Each row includes a direct source link so the underlying data remains auditable.

What the Minimum Specification Means

The minimum CPU choices are AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-10500, paired with 8 GB of RAM. The verified global table lists an NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB of graphics memory. These are entry requirements rather than a promise of a particular frame rate.

Steam labels the minimum profile as FHD at Very Low. That note matters because a machine merely meeting the list should not be described as ready for high visual settings. Resolution scaling, crowded areas, background applications, and final launch-client changes could all affect real performance.

No official FPS target accompanies the collected table. A claim such as “60 FPS minimum” would therefore be invented even if a third-party benchmark later reaches that number. This page will keep performance expectations qualitative until NC publishes a target or a transparent post-launch test can be clearly labeled as independent.

What the Recommended Specification Means

The recommended processors are AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-11700, with 16 GB of RAM. The verified graphics target is an NVIDIA RTX 2070 with 8 GB of graphics memory. DirectX 12 and Windows 10/11 64-bit remain the same as the minimum tier.

The official profile note for this tier is FHD at Low, which is more conservative than many players expect from the word “recommended.” It does not confirm High, Ultra, 1440p, 4K, or a specific refresh rate. Players building or upgrading a PC should avoid treating the listed parts as an official ceiling for every quality target.

The requirements also do not specify detailed CPU scheduling, ray tracing, frame generation, or upscaling support. Those features should not be inferred from the RTX model name or Unreal Engine 5 alone. A future graphics guide can document them after the global client exposes the settings and official materials define support.

Storage and SSD Planning

Both official PC tiers list 100 GB of storage and recommend an SSD. The wording does not establish whether 100 GB is the final installed size, the download transfer size, or the temporary free space required during patching. Keeping additional headroom is practical advice, but no extra number should be presented as an official requirement.

An SSD is recommended rather than listed as a hard requirement in the collected Steam data. That distinction matters for accurate wording, even though modern open-world streaming often benefits from faster storage. This page does not claim a supported hard-drive loading time or an SSD performance gain without a test.

Launch-day patches can change the amount of free space needed. Players should check the Steam or PURPLE installer immediately before preloading and avoid filling the target drive to its limit. The table’s dated source link is the final authority if the official number changes.

For the nearest preload date: the Launch Scale Test client pre-download opens September 16, 2026 on both platforms, though that test client’s own size has not been announced — 100 GB is the full game’s requirement, not the test download. The pre-download guide tracks the confirmed windows.

Mobile Requirements and Regional Versions

The global edition is currently described as PC only, so there is no official global iOS or Android requirement table to publish. A Taiwan App Store listing confirms iPhone and iPad support with iOS 15 or later for that regional version. A Korean Google Play listing confirms a regional Android product, but it does not supply a complete device tier comparable to the PC table.

Those regional store pages cannot be repackaged as global requirements. Device lists, service regions, account systems, and client builds can differ, and the global launch has not confirmed mobile support. The mobile fields therefore remain visible as TBD rather than blank.

Official AION 2 Video

The official Gamescom 2026 trailer is embedded as verified AION 2 media, not as a benchmark. Trailer footage cannot prove settings, frame rate, or hardware performance unless the publisher labels the capture conditions. None of the specification values above were inferred from the video.

Requirements Still Awaiting Official Data

The current table is complete for the fields officially published on Steam, but it does not answer every performance question. Exact FPS targets, higher-quality preset tiers, and global mobile specifications are unresolved. Empty spaces are shown as TBD so users can distinguish missing official data from a formatting omission.

Third-party “Ultra” and mobile requirement videos collected for this keyword did not yield a reliable transcript and are not official specification sources. They were excluded rather than converted into conclusions. Future updates should preserve the date and source on every changed row.
