AION 2 System Requirements: Official PC Specs
AION 2 system requirements — minimum and recommended PC specs verified against the Steam listing on October 12, 2026: CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and the 100 GB install.
AION 2's official system requirements are modest for a 2026 MMORPG, and both tiers below come straight from the Steam listing, verified on October 12, 2026. The global version is Windows-only (the store API lists no other platform), launched on October 5, 2026, and the install footprint is a flat 100 GB in both tiers.
Minimum requirements (official)
| Component | Official minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-10500 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Network | Broadband internet connection |
| Storage | 100 GB available space |
The listing adds two official notes for minimum-tier machines: an SSD is recommended, and when playing at FHD resolution the graphics preset should be set to Very Low to ensure compatibility. A GTX 1050 Ti is roughly 2016-era GPU hardware, which is why creator reaction to these specs focused on how low the bar is.
Recommended requirements (official)
| Component | Official recommended |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-11700 |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA RTX 2070 (8 GB) |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Network | Broadband internet connection |
| Storage | 100 GB available space |
The recommended tier doubles the memory to 16 GB, steps up to an 8-core CPU class, and asks for an RTX 2070 (8 GB) — with the same 100 GB storage figure and an SSD recommendation, plus a Low preset note for FHD play instead of Very Low.
Platform scope: Windows only (verified October 12, 2026)
The store API lists Windows as the only platform for the global release, and no official announcement through October 12, 2026 mentions Mac, console, or cloud versions. GeForce NOW support is one of the most-asked questions in community comments — answer: no official statement exists in captured sources, so any such claim belongs to the pending list, not to plans. Mobile-flavored search suggestions around AION 2 requirements trace to other regional versions and do not apply to the global PC release.
FAQ
Can I run AION 2 on a GTX 1050 Ti, or should I upgrade first?
A GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) is the official minimum GPU, so the game is expected to run on it — with the caveats NC attaches: an SSD is recommended and the FHD preset should be set to Very Low. If your CPU predates a Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-10500, the minimum tier is not met even with a matching GPU.
Is 8 GB of RAM enough for AION 2?
8 GB is the official minimum and 16 GB is the official recommended amount. Since the recommended tier also pairs 16 GB with an RTX 2070, RAM is the cheapest step up if you sit between the two tiers.
Do I really need 100 GB of storage space?
Yes — both official tiers list 100 GB of available space, and NC recommends installing on an SSD in both. There is no smaller official install figure as of the October 12, 2026 check.
