Beyond These Stars PC: System Requirements and Support

Beyond These Stars is documented as a Windows PC game on Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store. The captured minimum requirements are Windows 10 64-bit, a quad-core i5-6600 or Ryzen 3 3200G, 8 GB RAM, a GTX 960 or RX 570 with 4 GB VRAM, DirectX 11 and 7 GB storage. Recommended settings raise the CPU, memory and GPU level and use DirectX 12, with an SSD recommended in both tiers.

Minimum requirements

The minimum processor is an Intel Core i5-6600 quad-core or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G quad-core. The minimum memory is 8 GB RAM, and the graphics options are an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 with 4 GB or an AMD Radeon RX 570 with 4 GB. The listed operating system is Windows 10 64-bit.

The minimum storage line shows 7 GB available space, with an SSD recommended. DirectX 11 is listed for this tier. These values are taken from the supplied Steam, GOG and Epic captures; a later store update should be checked if your hardware is close to the threshold.

Recommended requirements

The recommended CPU is an Intel Core i5-9600 six-core or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X six-core. The recommended memory is 16 GB RAM, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with 8 GB or an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT with 8 GB. The recommended operating system remains Windows 10 64-bit.

The recommended graphics tier lists DirectX 12 and 7 GB available storage, with an SSD recommended. The captures do not state a frame-rate target or a resolution target. Performance at a particular resolution is therefore unconfirmed and should be tested on the current build.

Which stores document PC support

Steam identifies a Windows PC release and marks the game playable on Steam Deck. Its feature list includes single-player, achievements, Steam Trading Cards, Steam Cloud and a downloadable demo. GOG identifies Windows, states that the game has no DRM, and offers an offline installer with optional Galaxy features.

Epic also lists Windows requirements and an Epic ID purchase flow. These three storefronts provide the documented PC routes in the collected research. Prices, discounts and language lists belong to each store and should not be assumed to match forever.

Steam Deck and controller notes

The Steam listing marks Beyond These Stars playable on Steam Deck. That label is helpful for handheld PC shoppers, but it does not give an exact performance profile or a complete control map. The supplied review notes mark controller support as TBC, so controller behavior remains unconfirmed.

The first-look video demonstrates PC controls with WASD movement, Q/E rotation, mouse-wheel zoom and middle-mouse tilt. Those inputs describe the recorded keyboard-and-mouse build. Do not treat them as a confirmed Steam Deck layout without checking the current input prompts.

Storage and installation planning

Both minimum and recommended captures list 7 GB available storage. An SSD is recommended, which may help with loading even though the captured requirement does not supply a measured load time. Keep additional free space for the operating system, updates and store cache; the supplied sources do not give a patch-size estimate.

The GOG listing adds a full offline installer and says GOG Galaxy is optional. Steam Cloud and GOG cloud-save features belong to their respective storefronts. Choose the store whose installation and synchronisation features fit your setup, and avoid relying on an unofficial download page for compatibility or safety information.

What the requirements do not answer

The captures do not state a verified 4K target, frame-rate target, laptop GPU equivalence, Linux support or macOS support. They also do not provide a console requirement list. These topics should stay unconfirmed instead of being inferred from the Windows table.

The supplied materials repeat the same PC requirements across several pages, but repetition is not a promise that a later patch cannot change them. Check the live Steam, GOG or Epic listing before buying new hardware. If your system is below the minimum, the research cannot predict whether the game will launch or what performance it will deliver.

PC answer

Use Windows 10 64-bit with at least the listed i5-6600/Ryzen 3 3200G class CPU, 8 GB RAM, GTX 960/RX 570 4 GB graphics and 7 GB storage. For the recommended tier, target the i5-9600/Ryzen 5 2600X class CPU, 16 GB RAM and RTX 2070/RX 6600 XT class GPU, with DirectX 12 and an SSD. Exact performance outside those captured requirements is unconfirmed.
