The complete Metro 2039 system requirements have not been published. Steam currently confirms only that both the minimum and recommended configurations require a 64-bit processor and operating system. Epic lists the OS version, CPU, memory, and GPU as not yet published.
That means there is no verified CPU model, graphics card, RAM capacity, storage requirement, Windows version, or performance target to compare with your PC yet. This page reflects the pre-release storefront information available on November 3, 2026.
Official Metro 2039 PC requirements at a glance
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Processor architecture | 64-bit required | 64-bit required |
| Exact CPU model | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Operating-system architecture | 64-bit required | 64-bit required |
| Exact OS version | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Memory | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Graphics card | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Storage space | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Graphics API | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Resolution and frame-rate target | Not yet published | Not yet published |
| Ray-tracing hardware tier | Not yet published | Not yet published |
The 64-bit statement is an architecture requirement, not a performance recommendation. A PC can satisfy that condition and still be too slow once the actual CPU, GPU, and memory thresholds are announced.
Epic's storefront makes the incomplete status especially clear by displaying “Not yet published” for the main hardware fields. Blank or provisional third-party fields should not be converted into confirmed requirements.
Can your PC run Metro 2039
There is not enough official information for a reliable yes-or-no answer. Until the complete requirements appear, you can prepare without guessing:
- Confirm that your system is 64-bit. On Windows, open Settings, select System, then About, and check System type. A 32-bit processor or operating system does not meet the only published requirement.
- Record your current hardware. Note the exact CPU, GPU, installed RAM, operating-system version, and available storage. These are the fields you will need when the official table is updated.
- Do not buy an upgrade from an estimated specification list. Specific processors, graphics cards, memory capacities, and storage figures circulating before the official announcement are forecasts, not verified purchase guidance.
- Wait for performance targets as well as component names. A useful requirement table should explain whether a tier targets 1080p, 1440p, or 4K; the intended frame rate; the graphics preset; and whether upscaling or ray tracing is enabled.
- Recheck the official PC storefront listings before launch. Metro 2039 is scheduled for February 4, 2027, but no publication date has been announced for the completed system requirements.
What the graphics announcement does and does not confirm
4A Games describes Metro 2039 as using the next evolution of its 4A Engine. Official promotional material also mentions ray tracing, lifelike visuals, and an engine rebuilt to provide a tuned and performant experience.
Those statements describe the intended technology and presentation, but they do not establish a hardware baseline. They do not confirm that ray tracing will be mandatory, identify a minimum ray-tracing GPU, or provide separate requirements for rasterized and ray-traced modes.
The supplied official material also does not confirm path tracing requirements, a specific DirectX version, required upscaling, frame generation, or separate native-resolution performance tiers. Tables assigning hardware to those features should be treated as predictions unless an official storefront or publisher update supplies the same details.

How to recognize an unofficial requirements table
A current Metro 2039 specification list is not official if it presents exact hardware while the official storefront fields remain not yet published. Warning signs include:
- CPU and GPU models without an official minimum or recommended label;
- storage figures that do not appear on an official Metro 2039 listing;
- resolution and frame-rate claims with no stated graphics preset;
- path-tracing or upscaling assumptions presented as confirmed features;
- requirements copied or extrapolated from an earlier Metro game;
- vague labels such as “predicted,” “estimated,” or “forecast” removed when the list is repeated elsewhere.
Estimated configurations may help discuss possible performance, but they cannot determine compatibility or justify an upgrade. The official minimum and recommended tables remain the controlling reference.
What still needs to be announced
The most important missing details are the exact CPU and GPU tiers, RAM capacity, storage space, supported Windows version, graphics API, and the performance target attached to each tier. Players also need to know how ray tracing affects those tiers and whether any published target assumes an upscaler or frame generation.
Until those details appear, the accurate answer is limited: Metro 2039 requires a 64-bit processor and operating system on PC, while the rest of the minimum and recommended specifications remain unannounced.
