Welcome to Palia's system requirements guide! We understand that players have varying computer setups, and while the highest spec machines will allow for the most immersive experience, our goal is to make the game accessible to as many players as possible. Whether you have a top-of-the-line gaming rig or a more modest setup, we want you to enjoy Palia to the fullest extent.
Every PC configuration is unique and various factors, such as background applications, driver versions, and system settings, can impact your gaming experience. Even if your hardware meets the specifications listed below, you might need to test different settings to find the perfect balance between visuals and performance for your specific setup.
In this article, we will walk you through three different options and their corresponding hardware specifications. While lower-end machines may not achieve the same level of detail as higher-end ones, rest assured that we've optimized the game to deliver a satisfying visual experience, even on less powerful systems.
> NOTE: Palia runs best when installed on a solid state drive

Minimum Spec
Even on more modest setups, the "Minimum" setting allows you to experience Palia on lower-powered hardware.
However, it's essential to note that on minimum spec machines, you might experience occasional crashes or performance hiccups, especially during more demanding in-game moments.
To minimize such occurrences, we recommend ensuring that your operating system, drivers, and game software are up to date. Additionally, closing any unnecessary background applications can help optimize your gaming experience. Also, Palia will attempt to run below minimum specifications, including HDDs, dual-core CPUs, and integrated GPUs, but please expect that the overall game experience might be significantly diminished.
