MOTORSLICE System Requirements: PC Specs, PS5, Xbox Series X|S & Steam Deck Performance Guide
MOTORSLICE is a parkour action-adventure from Brazilian two-person studio Regular Studio and publisher Top Hat Studios, Inc., built in Unreal Engine 5 and inspired by Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge. You play as a girl named “P” who arrives at an abandoned megastructure with a chainsaw and a single objective: destroy every machine inside. Performance-wise, this is a mid-weight Unreal Engine 5 title with conflicting specifications across storefronts. The official Steam Support page lists a GTX 1050 minimum and GTX 1070 recommended, but the main Steam store page and GOG list different figures. I have cross-checked every source and flagged the discrepancies clearly below. The game launched on 5 May 2026 for PC via Steam and GOG, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $17.99 / £16.75 / €17.99.
System Requirements
Minimum (Windows)
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 |
| Processor | Intel Core i5 8th gen |
| Memory (RAM) | 8 GB |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 |
| VRAM | Not listed separately; the GTX 1050 ships with 2 GB or 3 GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 3 GB available space |
| Additional Notes | Developer’s note: “Don’t forget to update your drivers!” Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Full controller support. Steam Deck Verified. |

What this means in practice: The minimum tier targets 1080p at 30 to 60 fps on low-to-medium settings. The Core i5 8th gen is a 2017 processor and the GTX 1050 is a 2016 entry-level card, so this is hardware from roughly eight to nine years ago. The GTX 1050 shipped in both 2 GB and 3 GB variants, and the Steam Support page does not specify which is required. If you own the 2 GB model, you may need to lower texture settings, but the game’s stylised pixelated low-poly art style means you are unlikely to hit VRAM limits at 1080p. The 8 GB system RAM floor is standard for modern PCs, and the 3 GB install size is one of the smallest of any 2026 Unreal Engine 5 release. If you have a gaming PC from the last eight to nine years with a budget GPU and 8 GB of RAM, you will clear this bar.
Recommended (Windows)
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 |
| Processor | Intel Core i5 10th gen |
| Memory (RAM) | 8 GB |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or more |
| VRAM | Not listed separately; the GTX 1070 ships with 8 GB |

What this means in practice: The recommended tier targets 1080p or 1440p at 60 fps on high settings. The Core i5 10th gen is a 2020 processor and the GTX 1070 is a 2016 upper-mid-range card with 8 GB of VRAM. The 8 GB RAM requirement is identical to the minimum, which confirms the game’s memory footprint does not scale meaningfully with graphical settings. The GTX 1070’s 8 GB VRAM is the practical target for higher resolutions, though you will not be VRAM-limited at 1080p on a 2 GB card. If you have a gaming PC from the last four to five years with a mid-range GPU and 8 GB of RAM, you will meet this tier comfortably.
A Note on Conflicting Specifications Across Storefronts
There are three different sets of system requirements circulating for MOTORSLICE, and it is worth understanding the differences before you buy. The Steam Support page lists a GTX 1050 minimum and GTX 1070 recommended, with an i5 8th gen and i5 10th gen processor respectively. The main Steam store page lists the recommended specification (i5 10th gen, GTX 1070) as the minimum, which appears to be a copy-paste error rather than an accurate representation of the game’s floor. The GOG listing lists an i5 5th gen and GTX 960 as the minimum, which is lower than both Steam listings.
I am using the Steam Support page as the authoritative source for the minimum tier because it is the only listing that distinguishes between minimum and recommended configurations with different hardware, and it is the developer’s own specification. The GOG listing’s i5 5th gen and GTX 960 may reflect an earlier build of the game from Early Access or the demo period. If you own a GTX 960, you may be able to run the game, but the official minimum is a GTX 1050.
A Note on VRAM and System RAM
MOTORSLICE is a third-person parkour action-adventure with a stylised pixelated low-poly art style and Unreal Engine 5’s Lumen global illumination system. The GTX 1050’s 2 GB to 3 GB VRAM is the practical floor at 1080p, and the GTX 1070’s 8 GB is far more than the game needs at 1080p. You will not encounter texture streaming issues or VRAM bottlenecks at any resolution the game supports. The 8 GB system RAM requirement is identical at both tiers, which confirms the game’s memory footprint is fixed regardless of settings. Do not upgrade your GPU beyond a GTX 1070 for this game. The CPU and RAM are the components that matter most for consistent frame rates during the game’s physics-driven parkour sequences.

What this means in practice: The PS5 version runs at 60 fps stable with dynamic resolution reaching 1440p, according to Foro3D’s technical breakdown. The game’s global illumination and real-time reflections are optimised with Unreal Engine 5, though the Xbox Series S reduces some shadow details compared to the Series X and PS5. The PS5 version holds a Metascore of 75 from 12 critic reviews, with 67 percent positive ratings. Yahoo Tech’s review, played on PS5, noted that “when the game flows seamlessly, which is, mercifully, most of the time thanks to its solid framerate and simple, colorful and beautiful art style, MotorSlice feels fantastic.” If you own a PS5, this version performs without any technical concerns.
Xbox Series X|S
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Firmware | Latest Xbox system software |
| Storage | Not specified on the Xbox Store listing; PC version requires 3 GB |
| Performance (Series X) | 60 fps stable with dynamic resolution reaching 1440p, same as PS5 |
| Performance (Series S) | 60 fps target with reduced shadow details compared to Series X |
| Additional Notes | Single player. Xbox achievements and cloud saves. Xbox Series XS Optimised. Xbox Play Anywhere not confirmed. |

What this means in practice: The Xbox Series X matches the PS5 exactly, running at 60 fps stable with dynamic 1440p resolution. The Xbox Series S reduces some shadow details but maintains the 60 fps target, making it a viable option for players without a 4K display. Foro3D’s analysis confirms the game’s Unreal Engine 5 global illumination and real-time reflections are optimised across both consoles. If you own an Xbox Series X or Series S, the game runs without any major performance concerns.
Nintendo Switch 2: Not Available
MOTORSLICE has no Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 version. IGN’s release coverage confirms the platforms as “PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X/S, and Steam” only. GamesPress’s official press release confirms the game launched on “PC (Steam + GoG), PS5, and the Xbox family” with no Nintendo platforms mentioned. If you play primarily on Nintendo hardware, you cannot access MOTORSLICE.
Steam Deck
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Compatibility | Verified (Valve’s highest rating). Confirmed by Steam Deck HQ, BudgetGamer, GG.deals, and Play-Asia. |
| Performance | 40 fps lock on Medium preset is the recommended balance. Lowering settings to Low can push frame rates to 60 fps most of the time, but with drops into the 50s and occasional stuttering. The game defaults to the Medium quality preset on Steam Deck. |
| Additional Notes | ProtonDB Medal: Platinum. Full controller support. The 3 GB install size makes it easy to keep installed. |
Source: Steam Deck HQ’s review, BudgetGamer’s Steam Deck data, GG.deals’ platform listing, Play-Asia’s product listing, and Pixel Judge’s Steam Deck verification coverage. Last verified: 28 September 2026.
What this means in practice: MOTORSLICE carries a Steam Deck Verified badge, Valve’s highest compatibility rating. Steam Deck HQ’s dedicated review found that “Motorslice runs pretty decently at the default settings. It starts us off at the medium quality preset, which I would say runs pretty well if you’re willing to compromise on framerate. Honestly, I had a good time playing this at a 40 FPS lock with these settings, and I enjoyed it for this kind of game.” The reviewer noted that “at the low settings, we can get 60 FPS, a good chunk of the time, but there are still moments where it will drop below to the 50s or stutter a little bit, so I preferred the extra smoothness of 40 FPS and the better-looking visuals.” The game has a ProtonDB Platinum medal, indicating excellent compatibility and performance under Proton. Pixel Judge confirmed the game “passed Steam Deck verification” ahead of its full release. The 3 GB install size means it takes up almost no storage space. If you own a Steam Deck and enjoy action-platformers, this is a comfortable portable experience with a recommended 40 fps lock.
macOS and Linux: Not Available
MOTORSLICE is a Windows-only release on PC. There is no macOS or native Linux version available. SteamDB’s supported systems data lists Windows only. Steam Deck users play through Proton, and the Verified badge confirms that this compatibility layer works.
Price, Content, and Reception
MOTORSLICE is priced at $17.99 / £16.75 / €17.99** on Steam and GOG, with frequent discounts bringing the price as low as **$16.99. The game includes 8 chapters plus a prologue and epilogue, 8 colossal boss fights, 30 fully voiced and interactive story segments, and an extensive selfie mode with poses. The story is fully voiced by Kira Buckland as P. The soundtrack is by Pizza Hotline and features atmospheric DnB/Jungle tracks. Playtime is approximately 9 to 12 hours. The game holds a 73 Metascore on PC from 8 critic reviews (4 positive, 4 mixed) and a 75 Metascore on PS5 from 12 critic reviews (8 positive, 4 mixed). OpenCritic ranks it in the 63rd percentile with a 75 top critic average. Forbes described it as “an incredibly ambitious game that aims to live up to its obvious, genre-defining influences like Shadow of the Colossus, Mirror’s Edge,” while Metacritic’s critic summary notes that “MOTORSLICE stands out as a strong action-parkour title that excels in gameplay but stumbles in storytelling cohesion.” The game’s Steam user reviews are “Very Positive” at 93 percent according to IXBT Games’ launch coverage, and the game surpassed 1,000 Steam reviews within three days of release.
Final Verdict: Can Your PC Run MOTORSLICE?
Yes, almost certainly. MOTORSLICE is an accessible Unreal Engine 5 title with a budget-friendly hardware floor. The minimum spec asks for an Intel Core i5 8th gen, 8 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1050, which is hardware from 2016-2017. The 3 GB install size is one of the smallest of any UE5 release, and there is no SSD requirement. If you own a gaming PC from the last eight to nine years with a budget GPU and 8 GB of RAM, you can run this game at 1080p and 30 to 60 fps on low-to-medium settings without difficulty.
The conflicting specifications across storefronts are worth noting. The Steam Support page lists a GTX 1050 minimum, the main Steam store page lists a GTX 1070 (which is actually the recommended spec), and GOG lists a GTX 960. I am using the Steam Support page as the authoritative source. Do not upgrade your GPU beyond a GTX 1070 for this game.
On console, the game launched on 5 May 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Both current-generation consoles run at 60 fps with dynamic 1440p resolution, with the Xbox Series S reducing some shadow details. There is no Nintendo Switch 2 version. On Steam Deck, the game is Verified with a ProtonDB Platinum medal, and Steam Deck HQ recommends a 40 fps lock on the Medium preset for the best balance of visual quality and smoothness. The 3 GB install size makes it an easy game to keep installed. There is no macOS or Linux version. The game’s physics-driven parkour and one-hit-kill combat have drawn comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus and Mirror’s Edge, and while controls can feel clunky at times, the game’s 93 percent positive Steam rating suggests it resonates strongly with players who enjoy hardcore action-platformers.
