The official Dear Passengers store page lists a Windows PC minimum system requirements table. This guide explains what those numbers mean in plain language, whether your PC is likely to clear the baseline, and why Steam Deck, 60fps, and console answers are still not official.
Editorial note: Minimum system requirements are copied from the checked store page. Performance comments are interpretation, not official benchmark promises. Last checked: July 24, 2026.

The minimum and recommended specs below are sourced from the official Dear Passengers Steam store listing. Unless otherwise marked as editorial interpretation, every specification in this system requirements table comes directly from that store page.
The listing currently provides a minimum Windows table only. Because the recommended column is not listed, this page does not invent one.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Not listed |
| Processor | Intel Core i5 @ 2.5 GHz or equivalent | Not listed |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | Not listed |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT | Not listed |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Not listed |
| Storage | 4 GB available space | Not listed |

Your PC should meet the listed baseline if it has Windows 10 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, DirectX 12 support, and a graphics card at or above the GTX 1060 / RX 6600 XT line. That answers the source-backed baseline question only.
The official listing does not give recommended specs, a 60fps target, resolution targets, or graphics presets. So the honest answer is: compare your PC to the minimum table, then wait for benchmarks or official performance guidance before making 60fps claims. If one becomes available, you can also try the free demo to test performance on your own hardware.
Read the Dear Passengers system requirements as a pass/fail compatibility checklist first: operating system, processor, memory, graphics, DirectX, and storage. After that, treat every performance question as separate. A PC can meet minimum requirements and still need lower settings if the final build has demanding physics, crowded cabin scenes, or networked co-op pressure.
For now, the most useful upgrade path is practical rather than speculative. Match or beat the listed GPU, keep enough RAM free for background apps, install on a drive with spare space, and avoid assuming console or handheld performance until those system requirements are published. It also helps to know when Dear Passengers comes out and how much it will cost before you spend on upgrades.
The official minimum asks for an Intel Core i5 at 2.5 GHz or equivalent. The safe reading is simple: compare your CPU against that baseline before treating the game as runnable. If your processor is newer than that class, the CPU side of the system requirements is less likely to be the blocker.
The listed minimum is 8 GB RAM. Anything above that is only a comfort margin for background apps, not an official Dear Passengers recommendation. For a real gaming setup, 16 GB simply leaves more headroom for voice chat, browsers, overlays, and capture tools.
The official graphics line names NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. Until benchmarks exist, this page treats those GPUs as the compatibility floor, not as a 60fps promise. A newer card may clear the minimum, but final settings still depend on optimization.
The operating system line names Windows 10 64-bit and DirectX 12. Older Windows installs, 32-bit systems, or hardware without DirectX 12 support should be treated as below the listed requirement. This is the system compatibility check to run before comparing frame-rate expectations.
The storage requirement is modest, but it should not be read as the exact final download size forever. Updates, temporary install files, screenshots, save data, and shader caches can use extra space. Keep a clean margin on the drive where your game library lives.
A minimum requirements table answers only the lowest supported system target. It does not answer high settings, 1080p performance, 1440p performance, ultrawide displays, streaming, capture, or stable co-op sessions under heavy physics load. Those questions need benchmarks or official guidance.

Dear Passengers should be treated as unconfirmed on Steam Deck until Valve shows a compatibility rating or FLEXUS publishes handheld guidance. Valve explains that reviewed games receive a Deck compatibility category; the checked Dear Passengers Steam page does not show one.
The RAM and storage comparison is source-backed: Dear Passengers asks for 8 GB RAM and 4 GB storage, while Valve lists Steam Deck with 16 GB LPDDR5 and much larger storage options. The GPU result is not source-backed yet, so this page does not claim Steam Deck performance.
| Signal | Status |
|---|---|
| Official Deck rating | No Verified / Playable rating found on the checked listing |
| RAM comparison | Dear Passengers asks for 8 GB; Valve lists Steam Deck with 16 GB LPDDR5 |
| GPU caution | Dear Passengers lists GTX 1060 / RX 6600 XT; no Deck benchmark is available |
| Storage comparison | Dear Passengers asks for 4 GB; Steam Deck models have far more storage |
| Verdict | Unconfirmed until a Steam Deck rating, benchmark, or FLEXUS note appears |
> install size
4 GB available space
The minimum system requirements list 4 GB available space. Plan for extra room beyond that because game updates and platform install processes can need working space, but 4 GB is the only official Dear Passengers storage number listed.
> platform status
The store listing confirms Dear Passengers for PC on Valve's platform. It does not confirm PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo versions in the checked official source. That means there are no Dear Passengers console system requirements yet. This page does not treat console searches, store rumors, or genre comparisons as confirmation.
| Platform | Status |

| PC / Valve store | Confirmed by the official listing |
| PlayStation 5 | Not announced |
| Xbox Series X|S | Not announced |
| Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 | Not announced |

The official listing gives these minimum system requirements: Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i5 at 2.5 GHz or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics, DirectX 12, and 4 GB available storage.
No recommended PC requirements are listed on the checked official page. This page only treats the minimum table as official.
If your PC meets or beats the minimum table, it should meet the listed baseline. Real frame rate, resolution, and graphics settings cannot be guaranteed before benchmarks or developer guidance.
The checked listing does not currently show a Steam Deck Verified rating for Dear Passengers. Based on the minimum GPU signal, Steam Deck support should be treated as unconfirmed.
The official minimum table lists 4 GB available space as the storage requirement.
PC is the only confirmed platform in the checked official source. No PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo console version is confirmed there.
