NCSoft published the official PC system requirements for its upcoming MMO tactical shooter, Cinder City, giving players a clear benchmark for hardware readiness. The specifications reveal a surprisingly high baseline for memory, which may force users with older builds to upgrade components before they can access the game. Gamers relying on integrated graphics or entry-level systems will find the minimum thresholds demanding, particularly the requirement for 32 GB of RAM.
High memory baseline and specific GPU requirements outlined
The title is a tactical shooter that blends massively multiplayer online elements with squad-based combat. Players assume the role of Seven, a character searching for his daughter Joi within a complex narrative framework. A recent developer video previewed the gameplay mechanics and story beats, establishing the tone for the upcoming release.
- Minimum OS: Windows 10 (64-BIT) or Windows 11 (64-BIT)
- Minimum Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- Minimum RAM: 32 GB
- Minimum GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (VRAM 6GB)
- Minimum Storage: 50 GB
Minimum configuration demands an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card featuring 6 GB of VRAM. This baseline setup requires 32 GB of system memory and 50 GB of available storage space on a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or Windows 11. For a smoother experience, the recommended build steps up to an Intel Core i7-12700 or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 with 8 GB of VRAM. The recommended tier also doubles the memory requirement to 64 GB while maintaining the same 50 GB storage footprint.
NCSoft has not yet disclosed the specific resolution, graphics settings, or target framerate that these hardware specifications are designed to achieve. The developer also confirmed that there is currently no estimated release date for the game. Players must wait for further announcements regarding the launch window and performance benchmarks.
