Windows Minimum Requirements
These figures are copied from the official Steam store page, as checked on October 30, 2026. They apply to the Early Access build. Requirements can change with later updates.
- OS: Windows 10.
- Processor: 2 GHz+ CPU with SSE4.1 support required.
- Memory: 2 GB RAM.
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5000 or better, OpenGL support required.
- Storage: 1 GB available space.
Windows Recommended Requirements
The recommended Windows specification is almost identical to the minimum. The only change is that Windows 10 or Windows 11 is listed. Processor, memory, graphics and storage are the same.
In practice this means there is no higher tier to aim for. If your PC meets the minimum, Steam's listing suggests it meets the recommended level too. Integrated graphics are enough according to the store page.
macOS Requirements
Steam lists only a minimum specification for macOS. No recommended Mac configuration was published at our check. Apple Silicon is not mentioned by name.
- OS: OS X 10.12 Sierra or later.
- Processor: Intel Mac, 2 GHz.
- Memory: 4 GB RAM.
- Storage: 1 GB available space.
Two Requirements to Double-Check
Two items on the list are easy to miss. The CPU must support the SSE4.1 instruction set, which most processors from the last decade include. The graphics driver must support OpenGL.
If the game fails to start on an older machine, update your graphics driver first. Then confirm that your CPU lists SSE4.1 in its specifications. These are the hard requirements the store page names.
Linux, Steam Deck and Consoles
Steam lists Windows and macOS only. No native Linux build is listed, and we found no official Steam Deck verification rating. No console version has been announced.
Some players run Windows games on Linux through Proton, but that is not an official platform. We will not claim compatibility the developer has not confirmed. Check the Steam page for any later Deck rating.
Try the Demo First
The free Steam Demo is the easiest way to test your hardware. It uses the same core poker grid and art style. If it runs well, the Early Access build should too.
The Demo released on November 25, 2025 and is a separate store entry. Our release date page covers launch details and price. Our beginner guide explains how to start a first run.
Download Size and Storage
Steam asks for 1 GB of available space on both Windows and macOS. That is small for a modern PC game. Updates during Early Access may add content and increase the size.
Leave some extra free space for patches and save data. An SSD is not listed as a requirement. Load times may still be faster on one.
