Graveyard Keeper 2 System Requirements

Graveyard Keeper 2 is a light game by modern standards. The officially published PC requirements are modest on both tiers, and the install size is only 2 GB — unusually small for a 3D title, and a good sign for anyone on a laptop or a small SSD.

Everything below comes from the system requirements block on the official Steam store page. No third-party estimate or inference is included.

Minimum requirements

These are the official figures. The developers qualify them with a useful note: these are the specifications for 720p resolution.

A 64-bit processor and operating system are required on both tiers.

Recommended requirements

The recommended tier is described as the specification for 1080p resolution.

Note that storage does not increase between the two tiers — 2 GB either way.

What this tells you about the game

Three things are worth reading between the lines, all of which are safe to say because they follow directly from the published numbers.

First, the CPU floor is very low. An Intel Core i3-4160 is a 2014-era dual-core part. That suggests the simulation load — your production chains, zombie pathing and Town state — is designed to stay cheap, which matters in an automation game where late-game bases are usually what kills performance.

Second, the GPU floor is lower still, and includes Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580, an integrated solution. A fixed camera angle and a stylised art direction keep fill rate demands down. If you are on a modern integrated GPU (Iris Xe, Radeon 780M or Apple silicon via a compatibility layer), you are comfortably above the listed minimum — though official support for those configurations is unconfirmed.

Third, 2 GB of install space means this is not a texture-streaming monster. Expect to install it on a small SSD without a fight.

Steam Deck and handhelds

Unconfirmed. Valve's Steam Deck compatibility rating has not been published at the time of writing, and neither the developers nor Valve have stated handheld performance targets.

What can be said safely: the minimum tier targets 720p, which is the Steam Deck's native resolution, and the recommended GPU tier is roughly in the Deck's performance class. That is suggestive but not a confirmation — check the official Steam page for the Deck status badge on launch day.

Do the requirements cover consoles?

No. The published requirements are PC-only. Console versions are listed for Xbox Series, PS5, Switch and Switch 2, and each storefront handles its own compatibility, so no PC comparison applies.

How to check your own PC

On Windows, press Win + R, type dxdiag and press Enter. The System tab shows your processor and memory; the Display tab shows your graphics device and its dedicated VRAM. Compare against the tables above rather than against marketing GPU names — a "GTX" card can span a very wide performance range.

If you land below the minimum on RAM (4 GB) or storage (2 GB), those are the two cheapest things to fix, and both are hard requirements rather than quality settings.

FAQ

Can Graveyard Keeper 2 run on 4 GB of RAM?

That is the published minimum for 720p. It is a tight floor by 2026 standards; 8 GB is the sensible target.

Does it need DirectX 12?

Yes. DirectX Version 12 is listed on both the minimum and recommended tiers.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Unconfirmed. Only Windows is listed in the published system requirements, and no macOS or SteamOS build has been confirmed.

Will there be graphics settings?

Unconfirmed. No options menu details have been published, though the two resolution-targeted tiers imply scalability.

Does it support Steam Cloud?

Yes. The Steam page lists Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing as features.
