How demanding is Marvel Rivals?

Its minimum memory requirement of 16 GB is higher than 88% of the 183 PC games we track. Its 70 GB install is larger than 72% of them.

Compared to today’s hardware, the minimum requirements describe an older budget machine. This setup features a quad-core processor and a graphics card that’s several generations old. The recommended tier upgrades to a mid-range gaming PC from a few years back. This isn’t asking for cutting-edge tech, just something a bit better. Both tiers require Windows 10 64-bit (1909 or newer) and DirectX 12.

The graphics card acts as the primary upgrade point between the two tiers. RAM and storage remain the same at 16 GB and 70 GB. The processors and graphics cards differ, but the memory requirement stays unchanged. A practical tip from the notes suggests installing on an SSD, as the publisher recommends this for both tiers. The Steam Deck is rated Playable, so handheld gamers can expect it to run, though it might not be perfect.
