Hades 2 system requirements

With early access almost behind us, the Hades 2 system requirements have evolved, and while we were initially missing the recommended specs, they have since been added to the game, and curiously demand an Nvidia RTX GPU.

While you may proudly own one of the best graphics card picks from our buying guide, Hades 2 makes it clear that such power isn't necessary. Like its predecessor, the requirements are easy to clear even for decade-old machines, to the point where you could even get away with using an iGPU, like the one featured on the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G, to run the game.

Here are the Hades 2 system requirements:

The Hades 2 minimum requirements only ask that you own a dual-core 2.4GHz processor and pair it with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950, AMD Radeon R7 360, or Intel HD Graphics 630 GPU, all of which are a decade old.

These mid-range graphics cards came with 4GB and 2GB of GDDR5 memory and cost just $159 and $109 at their respective launches. How times have changed. The 8GB RAM requirement is on par with many indie games, and while you could probably even get away with less, it's best to err on the side of caution.

The Hades 2 recommended specs, which have only surfaced as we got closer to launch, ask for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, or Intel Arc A580 GPU. You'll need to pair this with a quad-core 2.4GHz CPU and 16GB of RAM.

It may seem strange to see an RTX GPU listed for Hades given that the roguelike made it through the entirety of early access on extremely old requirements. However, the RTX 2060 was a budget GPU even at the time of its release, and these recommended specs are still equivalent to the minimum specs for most triple-A releases in 2025.

Finally, the Hades 2 download size is confirmed at 10GB. That means even one of the smaller-capacity drives from our best SSD buying guide will provide ample space for this game, even if you've got a few other games installed.
