Older PCs catch a break with forgiving Little Nightmares 3 system requirements

The Little Nightmares 3 system requirements have been revealed, and they're nowhere near as terrifying as the monsters wandering the Nowhere. Just about any gaming PC or older laptop should be able to meet the game's minimum requirements, but you will, apparently, need Windows 11 to get the game running.

You definitely won't need the best graphics card to meet the Little Nightmares 3 requirements on PC, as even a six-year-old budget GPU will have enough power to handle the game's High graphics preset. Achieving a solid 60fps shouldn't even prove a challenge for the third entry in this brilliant horror game series once the Little Nightmares 3 release date comes round in October 2025.

Here are the Little Nightmares 3 system requirements:

The Little Nightmares 3 minimum requirements only call for an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580 as entry-level graphics cards, meaning just about any mid-range card from the last few years should be more than powerful enough to get the game running at a smooth 60fps on a 1080p monitor. The specs for the minimum processor are even older, calling for a 6th-gen Intel Skylake CPU, which originally launched in 2015.

Compared to most other modern releases, Little Nightmares 3 looks easy to run, to the point that most entry-level desktop PCs and gaming laptops should have no issues meeting or exceeding the game's demands and the 8GB RAM requirement. The only potential hurdle for older rigs will be the listed requirement for Windows 11, rather than Windows 10.

While older devices might meet the game's other requirements, the Windows 11 requirements need TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot. As such, if you do not meet these requirements and cannot upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10, you might not be able to play Little Nightmares 3.

If you are on Windows 11, the Little Nightmares 3 recommended specs take a decent jump from the minimum requirements, demanding an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800. For the processor, you'll need an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600. The memory requirement slightly increases at the recommended specs, calling for 12GB of the best gaming RAM.

Finally, the Little Nightmares 3 download size is currently unstated, but we estimate that it will require up to 20-30GB of space, when you consider the 10GB size of the previous title. It's likely that the game will have an SSD requirement, however, and we would recommend using one of the best gaming SSD options anyway, as it will be much quicker than a hard drive when it comes to load times.
