Mistfall Hunter System Requirements: PC Specs, PS5, Xbox Series X|S & Steam Deck Performance Guide
Mistfall Hunter is a third-person PvPvE extraction ARPG from developer Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games, set in a dark fantasy world where the Gyldenmist has consumed the land and fallen gods leave behind precious Gyldenblood. Performance-wise, this is a mid-weight Unreal Engine title: the official minimum asks for a GTX 1060 and 12 GB of RAM, while the recommended tier steps up to an RTX 2070. The game launched on 30 July 2026 for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass. There is no Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, or Xbox One version.

What this means in practice: The minimum tier targets 1080p at 30 to 60 fps on low-to-medium settings. The Core i7-4770 is a 2013 processor and the GTX 1060 is a 2016 mid-range card, so this is hardware from roughly nine to thirteen years ago. The 12 GB system RAM requirement is unusual, falling between the standard 8 GB floor and the 16 GB target most modern games list. This likely reflects the game’s extraction gameplay loop, where your inventory, extracted loot, and persistent progression data are held in memory alongside the active instance. The GTX 1060 shipped in both 3 GB and 6 GB variants, and the Steam page does not specify which is required. If you own the 3 GB model, you may need to lower settings to maintain a stable frame rate. The 45 GB install size is moderate for an extraction ARPG with multiple zones and class loadouts. If you have a gaming PC from the last seven to eight years with a 6 GB GPU and 12 GB of RAM, you will clear this bar.
Recommended (Windows)

|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| Memory (RAM) | 16 GB |

What this means in practice: The recommended tier targets 1080p at 60 fps on high settings, or 1440p at 60 fps depending on your monitor and preset choices. The i7-9700 is a 2019 processor and the RTX 2070 is a 2018 upper-mid-range card. The jump from 12 GB to 16 GB of RAM is the most meaningful change between tiers, and it reflects the game’s memory footprint growing as you load into larger zones with more players, enemies, and lootable objects active simultaneously. The 8 GB VRAM on both recommended GPUs is the practical target for 1080p and 1440p rendering. The developer has also confirmed optimisations for 2K and 4K resolutions were finalised before launch, so higher-resolution displays are supported beyond the stated recommended tier. If you have a gaming PC from the last four to five years with an RTX 2070 or better and 16 GB of RAM, you will meet this tier comfortably.
A Note on VRAM and System RAM
The 12 GB RAM minimum and 16 GB RAM recommendation tell a consistent story: this game’s memory footprint is higher than most titles in its genre. The GTX 1060’s 3 GB or 6 GB VRAM is the practical floor, and you will not be VRAM-limited at 1080p on a 6 GB card. The 8 GB VRAM on the recommended GPUs is more than sufficient for 1080p and 1440p. This is not a game where VRAM is the primary constraint. The system RAM requirement is the more relevant figure, and if you are running 8 GB, you will fall below the minimum specification. Do not upgrade your GPU beyond an RTX 2070 for this game unless you are targeting 4K. The CPU and RAM are the components that matter most for consistent frame rates in extraction combat.
PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Firmware | Latest PS5 system software |
| Storage | Approximately 42 GB (digital download) |
| Performance (PS5) | Quality and Performance modes available. Specific resolution targets not published by Bellring Games. |
| Performance (PS5 Pro) | “Most refined console version” with higher rendering resolutions, more stable frame rates across both modes, and sharper image quality through enhanced upscaling. |
| Additional Notes | Cross-platform matchmaking supported. DualSense support confirmed for post-launch updates, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. |

What this means in practice: The PS5 version offers Quality and Performance modes, though Bellring Games has not published specific resolution or frame rate targets for the base console. Game2Gether’s testing found that the PS5 Pro version “remained stable and good to play” in online testing, and the developer’s own statement to GamingBolt describes the PS5 Pro as delivering “the most refined console version,” with “higher rendering resolutions and more stable frame rates across both Quality and Performance modes.” The 42 GB download size is slightly smaller than the PC version’s 45 GB requirement. The DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are confirmed for post-launch updates rather than at launch, with the developer stating that “melee impacts, parries, and those white-knuckle extraction moments are exactly the kind of thing that deserves to be felt in your hands.” If you own a PS5 Pro, this is the best console version of Mistfall Hunter.
Xbox Series X|S
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Firmware | Latest Xbox system software |
| Storage | Approximately 43 GB (digital download) |
| Performance (Series X) | 60 fps confirmed. Specific resolution targets not published by Bellring Games. |
| Performance (Series S) | 60 fps confirmed, but resolution is “very weak” with significant ghosting, according to Rutab.net and PPE.pl. |
| Additional Notes | Day one on Xbox Game Pass. Cross-platform matchmaking supported. |

What this means in practice: The Xbox Series X version runs at 60 fps, and Rutab.net reports that “the more powerful Microsoft console does not have particular problems maintaining 60 fps.” However, the Xbox Series S version is a significant compromise. Both Rutab.net and PPE.pl confirm the Series S runs at 60 fps but at a “very weak” resolution with significant ghosting, with image clarity that is “perhaps even lower than in Crimson Desert.” This is a noticeable step down from the Series X and PS5 versions, and if you own a Series S, you should set your expectations accordingly. The game is available day one on Xbox Game Pass, which makes it a low-risk option for subscribers, and the 43 GB download size is slightly larger than the PS5 version.
Steam Deck
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Compatibility | Verified (Steam Deck Verified, per PCMasterRace.fr) |
| Performance | 45-60 fps during open beta testing on lowest settings, per DeckTube. No major issues reported. |
| Additional Notes | The game’s 45 GB install size will consume a significant portion of the Steam Deck’s internal storage. A microSD card is recommended. |

What this means in practice: Mistfall Hunter carries a Steam Deck Verified badge according to PCMasterRace.fr, Valve’s highest compatibility rating. DeckTube’s open beta testing found the game runs at 45-60 fps on the lowest settings with “smooth gameplay and no major issues” on the Steam Deck OLED. The game’s 45 GB install size is a concern on the Steam Deck’s internal storage, which ships with 256 GB on the OLED model and 64 GB or 256 GB on the LCD model. You will likely need a microSD card to install the game comfortably. The 12 GB RAM minimum is within the Steam Deck’s 16 GB unified memory, and the GTX 1060 minimum GPU is comparable to the Deck’s GPU performance. The verified badge confirms that the game runs natively on SteamOS with full controller support. If you own a Steam Deck and enjoy extraction ARPGs, this is a functional portable experience, though the storage requirement is the main practical hurdle.
Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, and Xbox One: Not Available
Mistfall Hunter is not available on Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, or Xbox One. The game launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S only, and Bellring Games has not announced plans for any additional platforms. If you play primarily on a Nintendo console or a last-generation PlayStation or Xbox system, you cannot access this game.
macOS and Linux: Not Available
Mistfall Hunter is a Windows-only release on PC. There is no macOS or native Linux version available. Steam Deck users play through SteamOS, and the Verified badge confirms that this compatibility layer works well.
Final Verdict: Can Your Setup Run Mistfall Hunter?
Mistfall Hunter is an accessible extraction ARPG on PC, but the 12 GB RAM minimum and 16 GB RAM recommendation are higher than most games in its genre. The minimum spec asks for a Core i7-4770, 12 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1060, which is hardware from 2013-2016. The recommended spec asks for a Core i7-9700, 16 GB of RAM, and an RTX 2070, which is achievable on most mid-range gaming PCs from the last four to five years. The 45 GB install size is moderate, and there is no SSD requirement. If you have a gaming PC from the last five to six years with a 6 GB GPU and 12 GB of RAM, you meet the minimum. If you have 16 GB of RAM and an RTX 2070 or better, you meet the recommended tier.
The absence of a specific VRAM figure on the Steam page is a minor gap, but the listed GPUs and their standard configurations suggest that 6 GB is the practical floor for the minimum tier and 8 GB for the recommended tier. You will not be VRAM-limited at 1080p on a 6 GB card.
On console, the PS5 Pro is the most refined version, with higher resolutions, more stable frame rates, and sharper image quality through enhanced upscaling. The base PS5 and Xbox Series X both target 60 fps, though specific resolution targets have not been published. The Xbox Series S is the weakest console version, running at 60 fps but with “very weak” resolution and significant ghosting. The game is available day one on Xbox Game Pass, which makes the Xbox version a low-risk option for subscribers. There is no Nintendo Switch version, and Steam Deck is Verified with 45-60 fps reported during open beta testing.
