Gears of War: E-Day PC Specs Revealed, 12GB RAM and RTX 2060 Minimum

The Coalition has released the PC system requirements for Gears of War: E-Day, and they are more modest than many players expected. The minimum specs call for just 12GB of RAM and an RTX 2060, which should keep the game accessible to a wide range of systems.

Minimum and recommended specs detailed

Gears of War: E-Day is the next installment in the long-running shooter franchise. It is set to launch globally on October 6, 2026. The developer, The Coalition, has detailed the hardware needed to run the game at both minimum and recommended settings.

• Minimum OS: Windows 10 64-bit 22H2
• Minimum Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X / Intel i7-6850K / i5-10400
• Minimum Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Minimum Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 / RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 / RX 9060 / Intel A580
• Recommended OS: Windows 11 64-bit (25H2) or newer

On the minimum side, players need a Windows 10 64-bit 22H2 system with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel i7-6850K, or i5-10400 processor. The graphics card can be an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 2060, AMD Radeon RX 6600, RX 9060, or Intel A580. The game requires 12GB of RAM and 130GB of SSD storage.

Ultrawide and handheld support confirmed

For the recommended experience, The Coalition suggests Windows 11 64-bit (25H2) or newer, paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or Intel i5-11600K CPU. The recommended GPU options include an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, RTX 3060 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, RX 9060 XT, or Intel B580. Memory jumps to 16GB.

The game supports ultrawide monitors, uncapped frame rates, and handheld optimization. These features should benefit players on a variety of displays and devices. The Coalition has not yet shared specific performance targets or ray tracing requirements.

Gears of War: E-Day arrives on October 6, 2026. The modest system requirements mean many current gaming PCs should handle the game without an upgrade.
