Memoirium System Requirements: PC Specs, Steam Deck Performance & Console Status
Memoirium is a retro soulslike from almost-solo Filipino developer GoldenGratus, funded by Outersloth, the publishing label from Among Us studio InnerSloth. It launched on 13 August 2026 for PC via Steam at $14.99, and it is a PC-exclusive release with no console version currently available. Performance-wise, this is one of the lightest soulslikes of 2026: the official minimum asks for a dual-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 970, and the install size is just 1 GB. The full specification listing is on the Memoirium Steam page.
System Requirements
Minimum (Windows)
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel or AMD Dual Core |
| Memory (RAM) | 8 GB |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 |
| VRAM | Not listed separately by the developer; the GTX 970 ships with 4 GB |
| DirectX | Not specified on the Steam page |
| Storage | 1 GB available space |
| Additional Notes | Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Partial controller support. No SSD requirement stated. |

What this means in practice: The minimum tier targets 1080p at 60 fps on the game’s default settings. The dual-core processor requirement is deliberately broad, covering chips from roughly 2010 onward, and the GTX 970 is a 2014 upper-mid-range card. This is an accessible bar by modern standards. The 8 GB system RAM floor is standard for modern PCs, and the 1 GB install size is one of the smallest of any 2026 release. The 4 GB VRAM on the GTX 970 is far more than the game’s PSX-inspired low-poly visuals will ever need, so you will not be VRAM-limited at any resolution. Gamernews.it’s PC review confirms that the game maintains “a fluid and stable frame rate even on dated configurations.” If you own a desktop or laptop with a dedicated GPU built in the last ten to twelve years, you will clear this comfortably.
Recommended (Windows): Not Published
GoldenGratus has not published a full Recommended specifications tier for Memoirium on Steam or anywhere else. The Steam page lists only “Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system” under the recommended section, with no processor model, RAM figure, or GPU recommendation. This is unusual and worth flagging plainly: the developer has given no official guidance on what hardware delivers the best experience. In practice, the minimum specification is already so low that the recommended tier is almost certainly the same hardware running at higher resolutions. Gamernews.it’s review describes the technical performance as “solid and light,” with “accessible hardware requirements” that deliver smooth frame rates even on older systems, and notes that loading times between zones are “rapid.” If you have a gaming PC from the last eight to ten years with any dedicated GPU and 8 GB of RAM, you will meet or exceed whatever the developer would have listed as recommended.
A Note on VRAM and System RAM
Memoirium is a retro-styled soulslike with deliberately low-polygon models and pixelated textures, built in Unreal Engine using 3D models created in Blender. The GTX 970’s 4 GB of VRAM is far more than this game needs. You will not encounter texture streaming issues or VRAM bottlenecks at 1080p or even 1440p. The 8 GB system RAM requirement is the more relevant figure, and it reflects the game’s memory footprint holding an interconnected world of eight dungeons, multiple boss arenas, and the player’s decorated safe room in memory simultaneously. Do not upgrade your GPU for this game. If you have 8 GB of RAM and a dual-core processor from the last decade, you are fine.
Steam Deck
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Compatibility | Unknown (Valve’s official rating); SteamDB lists Steam Deck status as unconfirmed |
| Performance | Playable according to community reports; 100% Steam Deck satisfaction rating based on tagged reviews |
| Additional Notes | Partial controller support. The developer’s system requirements do not mention Steam Deck. |

What this means in practice: Memoirium’s Steam Deck status is unknown, which means Valve has not granted it a Verified or Playable rating as of my verification date. The game does have partial controller support, and community reports indicate it runs on Steam Deck, with VaporLens data showing a 100 percent Steam Deck satisfaction rating based on tagged user reviews. The game’s extremely low system requirements and 1 GB install size make it a natural fit for the handheld, and there are no anti-cheat or online requirements that would block Proton compatibility. However, the lack of an official Valve rating means you should check current community reports before purchasing if handheld play is your primary interest. The game’s partial controller support also means some menus or functions may require touchscreen input or manual mapping.
macOS, Linux, and Console Versions: Not Available
Memoirium is a Windows-only release on PC. There is no macOS or native Linux version available. Steambase’s platform data lists Windows as the only confirmed platform. Steam Deck users play through Proton, and community reports suggest this works, but it is not officially supported.
There is also no PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo version. Gematsu’s August 2026 release calendar explicitly lists Memoirium as PC only, alongside console titles launching the same week on PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2. IGN’s coverage confirms the game “will be available on PC on August 13, 2026,” and RPGamer’s announcement states it will be “available for PC via Steam.” If you play primarily on a console, you cannot access Memoirium at this time.
Final Verdict: Can Your PC Run Memoirium?
Yes, almost certainly. Memoirium is one of the least demanding soulslikes of 2026. The minimum spec asks for a dual-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 970, which is hardware from 2014. The 1 GB install size is tiny, there is no SSD requirement, and the game runs on Windows 10. If you own a desktop or laptop built in the last ten to twelve years with a dedicated GPU and 8 GB of RAM, you can run Memoirium without difficulty.
The absence of a full Recommended specification is worth noting, but it is not a red flag here. The game’s visual style is deliberately retro, with low-polygon models and pixelated textures that do not demand modern hardware. Gamernews.it’s review confirms that the PC version delivers “fluid and stable” performance even on older configurations, with fast loading times and no critical bugs during their testing. If you have a gaming PC from the last five to six years with any mid-range GPU and 8 GB of RAM, you will run this at higher resolutions without issue.
On Steam Deck, the game’s official status is unknown, but community reports are positive and the hardware requirements are well within the Deck’s capabilities. The partial controller support means some functions may require touchscreen input, but the game is playable. There are no console versions, and no macOS or native Linux version. The game supports Steam Cloud, so your progress carries across Windows PCs if you use multiple machines.
Specs may be revised by GoldenGratus in future patches or updates.
