SPRAWL zero System Requirements: PC Specs, PS5, Xbox Series X|S & Switch 2 Performance Guide
SPRAWL zero is a fast-paced cyberpunk first-person shooter from developer MAETH and publisher Kwalee, built as a deliberate throwback to the golden age of 2000s console shooters. Performance-wise, this is a mid-weight title with a distinctive split personality: the retro low-poly art direction keeps raw GPU demands surprisingly moderate, but the game’s physics-driven combat, coordinated enemy AI, and constant weapon-swapping loop place real strain on system memory and CPU. The Windows specifications below are taken directly from the official SPRAWL zero Epic Games Store page, which lists both Minimum and Recommended tiers. Console performance details come from the Xbox Store listing and the Nintendo eShop page. I have dated every table and flagged where the developer has not published information.
System Requirements
Minimum (Windows, 1080p at 30 FPS)
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
| Memory (RAM) | 16 GB |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570 |
| VRAM | 4 GB (the GTX 1050 Ti and RX 570 both ship with 4 GB) |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 4 GB available space |
| Additional Notes | No SSD requirement stated |

What this means in practice: The minimum tier targets 1080p at 30 fps on low-to-medium settings. The i5-8400 and Ryzen 5 2600 are both 2017-2018 processors, and the GTX 1050 Ti is a 2016 entry-level card. This is an accessible bar for anyone with a gaming PC built in the last seven to eight years. The 16 GB RAM requirement is the standout detail here. For a game with a 4 GB install size and retro visuals, 16 GB is unusually high, and it applies to both the minimum and recommended tiers. The physics simulations, weapon-swapping system, and coordinated enemy AI all run simultaneously, and the game keeps a substantial amount of data in memory regardless of your graphical settings. If you are running 8 GB, you will need to upgrade before playing. The 4 GB VRAM floor is more modest and reflects the game’s low-poly aesthetic, so you will not be VRAM-limited at 1080p.
Recommended (Windows, 1080p at 60 FPS)
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel Core i7-11700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X |
| Memory (RAM) | 32 GB |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT |
| VRAM | 16 GB on the RTX 4060 Ti; the RX 7600 XT ships with 16 GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 4 GB available space |
| Additional Notes | No SSD requirement stated |

What this means in practice: The recommended tier targets 1080p at 60 fps on high settings, and the hardware request is genuinely demanding for a retro-styled shooter. The RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card, and the i7-11700 is a 2021 processor. The jump from 16 GB to 32 GB of RAM is the most significant change between tiers. This is not a VRAM-limited game; the 16 GB VRAM on the recommended GPU is far more than the game needs at 1080p. The bottleneck is system memory and CPU, not graphics memory. If you have a mid-range gaming PC from the last three to four years with 16 GB of RAM, you will meet the minimum comfortably but may see frame rate drops in dense combat without upgrading to 32 GB. The recommended tier is best suited to a gaming desktop or high-end laptop from 2023 or later.
PlayStation 5
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Firmware | Latest PS5 system software |
| Storage | 3.11 GB (digital download) |
| Performance | 60 fps (inferred from review descriptions; official targets not published) |
| Additional Notes | Single player; offline play enabled; DualSense vibration supported; PS5 and PS Portal cloud streaming with Premium subscription |

What this means in practice: The PS5 version launched on 8 September 2026 and has a remarkably small 3.11 GB download size, making it one of the most storage-friendly games of the year. MAETH has not published specific resolution or frame rate targets, but PlayStation Universe’s review describes “crisp high-frame rate responsiveness” and notes that the game runs smoothly throughout its ten-hour campaign. Given the Xbox version’s confirmed 60 fps+ rating and the hardware parity between the platforms, the PS5 version almost certainly targets 60 fps. If you own a PS5, you can expect a fast, responsive experience with no meaningful performance concerns.
Xbox Series X|S
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Firmware | Latest Xbox system software |
| Storage | Not specified on the Xbox Store listing |
| Performance | 4K Ultra HD, 60 fps+, Optimised for Xbox Series XS |
| Additional Notes | Single player; Xbox achievements; Xbox cloud saves; Xbox Play Anywhere |
Source: Xbox Store listing for SPRAWL zero and IGN’s launch trailer coverage. Last verified: 13 September 2026.
What this means in practice: The Xbox version launched day-and-date with PC and PS5 and carries the Xbox Series X|S Optimised badge with confirmed 4K Ultra HD and 60 fps+ support. This is a strong performance profile for a game with a 4 GB PC install size, and it confirms that the retro aesthetic translates well to modern console hardware. Xbox Play Anywhere support means that purchasing the digital version grants access on both console and Windows PC, which is a genuine value point if you game across both platforms. The Xbox Store does not list an install size, though the PS5 version’s 3.11 GB download suggests the Xbox download will be similarly compact.
Nintendo Switch 2
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Firmware | Latest Nintendo Switch 2 system software |
| Storage | 5.2 GB (digital download) |
| Performance | Targets not published; likely 60 fps based on console DNA |
| Additional Notes | Single player; Save Data Cloud supported with Nintendo Switch Online membership; Nintendo Switch 2 only compatible with microSD Express cards |
Source: Nintendo eShop listing for SPRAWL zero. Last verified: 13 September 2026.
What this means in practice: The Switch 2 version launched alongside the other platforms and has a 5.2 GB download size, slightly larger than the PS5 version but still very small. MAETH has not published specific resolution or frame rate targets for the Switch 2, but given the game’s “classic console DNA” and the fact that it was designed as a throwback to 2000s console shooters, a 60 fps target is highly likely. The game’s low-poly visuals and 4 GB PC install size suggest it is well within the Switch 2’s capabilities. If you own a Switch 2 and want a portable fast-paced shooter, this version should serve you well.
Steam Deck
The Steam page lists SPRAWL zero as Playable on Steam Deck, and Notebookcheck’s report confirms this rating. Steam Deck HQ’s performance analysis found that the game runs at 60 fps on max settings in open areas with few enemies, but cannot hold a stable 60 fps in dense combat encounters. The recommendation is to use a mix of medium settings and possibly cap the frame rate at 40 fps for consistency. Given the game’s 16 GB RAM minimum on PC, Steam Deck owners with the 16 GB model should have enough memory, but the handheld’s limited CPU may struggle with the game’s physics and AI systems in late-game scenarios. If you want to play on Steam Deck, expect a playable but not flawless experience.
macOS and Linux: Not Available
SPRAWL zero is a Windows-only release on PC. There is no macOS or native Linux version available, and neither MAETH nor Kwalee has announced plans for either. Steam Deck users play through Proton.
Final Verdict: Can Your Setup Run SPRAWL zero?
SPRAWL zero is an unusual case: a retro-styled shooter with a 4 GB install size that asks for 16 GB of RAM at minimum and 32 GB at recommended. The memory requirement is the real barrier here, not the GPU. A GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB of VRAM will run the game at 1080p and 30 fps, but only if your system has 16 GB of RAM. If you are still running 8 GB, you cannot play this game regardless of your graphics card.
The 32 GB recommendation for 1080p at 60 fps on high settings is genuinely high for a game with this visual style. This suggests the game’s simulation systems, not its rendering pipeline, are the performance bottleneck. If you have a gaming PC from the last three to four years with 16 GB of RAM, you can play at minimum settings. For a smooth 60 fps experience, you will want 32 GB and a processor from the last three years.
On console, the situation is much simpler. The PS5 version has a 3.11 GB download and runs at 60 fps, according to review descriptions. The Xbox version is confirmed for 4K and 60 fps+ with Play Anywhere support. The Switch 2 version has a 5.2 GB download and should run well given the game’s lightweight visual profile. If you have a modern console, any version will deliver a fast, responsive experience without the memory headaches that affect the PC version.
