Moon Sweepers system requirements (Windows)
Transcribed Windows minimum and recommended specs for Moon Sweepers from the live Steam listing, plus network and storage notes.
What are the Windows minimum requirements?
The following table is transcribed from the Steam store system requirements block, checked on October 27, 2026. These are published requirements, not our own frame-rate benchmarks.
| Component | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 570 |
| DirectX | Version 11 |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection |
| Storage | 2 GB available space |
Meeting the minimum does not promise a particular frame rate. Resolution and graphics settings still affect cost on any PC game.
What are the recommended specs?
| Component | Recommended |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection |
| Storage | 4 GB available space |
Both columns require a 64-bit processor and operating system. The store page repeats that line under Minimum and Recommended.
AMD GPUs and DirectX version after 1.0.4
Patch 1.0.4 notes that on Windows / AMD, DirectX 11 is now the default to prevent AMD GPU crashes. To force DirectX 12, the developers instruct adding -force-d3d12 to Steam launch options. That is a post-launch remediation, not a change to the published Recommended DirectX 12 line on the store page.
If you are on AMD hardware and see instability, prefer the default DirectX 11 path before chasing other settings. Performance-oriented notes from 1.0.3 claim smoother driving, faster teleports, and “up to about 20% higher frame rates in our tests” on large bases — treat those as developer statements, not independent measurements.
Does the game need an internet connection?
Steam’s published Minimum and Recommended tables both list Broadband Internet connection. Online Co-op, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing are also listed. Whether single-player strictly requires a live internet session is not officially stated beyond that requirements line — re-check the live store page if offline play matters to you.
For platform coverage beyond the PC specs table, see platforms and languages. For first-session goals after install, see the beginner guide. If AMD crash workarounds in 1.0.4 are relevant to you, also skim the patch notes.
