PSA: Throne And Liberty's Steam System Requirements Are Wrong - Here's What You Need When The MMO Launches In October
Throne and Liberty is set to release on PC, Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5 on October 1st, yet for PC players there might be some confusion as the MMO's system requirements are wrong on the Steam page.
Spotted first by PCGamesN's Niall Walsh, the Steam listing for Amazon's upcoming MMO are incorrect and don't actually match what is on the official website. While the requirements for Throne and Liberty don't require a blisteringly fast GPU like one of the most recentRTX 40-series GPUs from Nvidia or AMD's RDNA 3 cards, it might require more than the old GeForce GTX960 listed on Steam.
According to Steam, the minimum system requirements will only require you to have an older Intel i5-6500 CPU, 8GB of system RAM and the aforementioned GTX 960 — a card that first launched back in 2015. However, when comparing with the Throne and Liberty website, the system requirements are a little bit beefier (and make a bit more sense).
Even the recommended spec has some issues on the Steam listing, recommending a GTX 1660 GPU on the storefront while the official page recommends an RTX 2070 Super.
Here are the official requirements via the website:
PC Minimum:
- Intel i5-7700 CPU (Editor's Note: This too might be an error because, as far as we know, the i5-7700 doesn't exist)
- Nvidia GTX 1660 GPU
- 16GB RAM
- Windows 10 20H2
PC Recommended:
- Intel i5-11600K
- Nvidia RTX 2070 Super
- 16GB RAM
- Windows 10 20H2
Curiously, neither spec mentions an AMD Radeon or even an Intel Arc equivalent GPU in the requirements, though there aren't that many Intel GPUs to choose from right now so the pickings are slim there. For AMD, a Radeon RX 5700 XT would be the closest to the Recommended spec, while the minimum spec would be around the Vega era of AMD GPUs — and we really don't recommend those anymore.
Throne and Liberty is gearing up for its eventual launch at the start of October, after being delayed out of a early September release. The early access period kicks off on September 26th for those who
