The Dear Passengers system requirements are partly confirmed. Steam lists the official minimum requirements, but recommended requirements are not announced by FLEXUS. That distinction matters because system requirement pages often fill empty boxes with guesses. This page does not.
Dear Passengers is confirmed for Windows PC on Steam. It is not announced for Xbox or PS5, and there is no Steam Deck compatibility rating yet. FLEXUS has not announced pricing, a final release date beyond the 2026 window, or any console plans. For release timing, see the release date guide.
Official Minimum Requirements
These are the minimum requirements listed on the official Steam page.
| Component | Minimum requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz or equivalent |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | GTX 1060 or RX 6600 XT |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 4 GB available space |
That is the complete confirmed minimum table from the fact baseline. FLEXUS has not tied these requirements to a resolution, graphics preset, frame-rate target, player count, online load, or demo build. If another page says the minimum specs are for 1080p, 60 FPS, low settings, high settings, or any exact performance target, that extra detail is not confirmed by FLEXUS.
Recommended Requirements Are Not Announced
Recommended CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, and performance targets are not announced by FLEXUS. There is no official recommended table yet.
That means players should be careful with any recommended spec chart that looks complete. A fake table may be written in the same format as a Steam listing, but if FLEXUS has not published it, it is not official. This is especially important for Dear Passengers because physics-driven co-op games can change performance needs during development. Final optimization, object density, online networking, and cabin physics may shift before launch.
Windows Version Notes
Windows 10 64-bit is confirmed as the minimum operating system. The official facts do not list Windows 7, Windows 8, a 32-bit version, or Windows 11. That does not mean Windows 11 will fail; it means Windows 11 is not specifically listed in the verified requirements baseline.
Because the game is confirmed for Windows PC on Steam, Steam itself remains the safest place to check future requirement updates. The Steam App ID is 4534960.
GPU And DirectX Notes
The confirmed minimum graphics cards are GTX 1060 or RX 6600 XT, with DirectX 12. FLEXUS has not announced VRAM requirements, ray tracing support, upscaling support, graphics presets, ultrawide support, or frame-rate caps.
Do not assume a GPU comparison chart is official unless it points back to FLEXUS or Steam. The safest reading is that the game needs a DirectX 12-capable Windows PC meeting or exceeding the listed minimum graphics hardware.
Storage And SSD
The official minimum storage requirement is 4 GB available space. SSD is not listed as a hard requirement. It is fair to say that installing games on an SSD is generally helpful for load times, but that is general PC advice, not an official Dear Passengers requirement.
FLEXUS has not announced final install size, patch size, demo size, or whether the public demo will use the same storage footprint as the release build.
Steam Deck Status
Steam Deck compatibility is not rated yet. Because Dear Passengers is unreleased, that is normal. FLEXUS has not announced Steam Deck verification, controller layout details, handheld performance targets, or Linux compatibility through Proton.
The controls guide covers the same honesty problem from the input side: full keybinds and controller details are not announced by FLEXUS.
Should You Upgrade For Dear Passengers?
Based on current facts, do not buy new hardware solely because of guessed recommended specs. Compare your PC to the official minimum table. If you already meet or exceed it, wait for FLEXUS to publish more details, a public demo, or final launch benchmarks.
If your PC is below the minimum GPU, CPU, RAM, or DirectX requirement, that is a real concern. But exact performance cannot be promised yet. Kozyura has said the studio is still aiming for 2026 but will not rush an under-polished build. Requirements may be clarified as launch or demo access gets closer.
