What are the Saints Row system requirements? Saints Row system requirements are borderline criminal, but the crime caper is easier to run than you might think. While Deep Silver recommends using one of the best graphics cards on the market, you don’t technically even need a GPU to explore this sandbox shooter.

 

Here are the Saints Row system requirements:

Minimum (1080p – 30 FPS) Recommended
OS Windows 10 64-bit Windows 10 64-bit
CPU Intel Core i3-3240
AMD Ryzen 3 1200
Intel Core i5 12600
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
RAM 8GB 16GB
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
AMD Radeon RX 480
GeForce RTX 3080 TI
AMD Radeon RX 6800XT

According to Deep Silver’s Saints Row system requirements, you can dive into the open-world adventure using a GTX 970. This might sound reasonable, but to enjoy the game at its best, the devs recommend an RTX 3080 Ti (ouch).

You’ll need to make sure your rig is packing 8GB RAM before diving into the new Saints Row, and that doubles to 16GB if you’re aiming for higher settings. This is to be expected when it comes to open-world games, as it helps when it comes to rendering sprawling cityscapes and skylines.

Before embarking on a mission to download Saints Row, make sure to free up at least 50GB on your SSD or hard drive, especially if chonky games like Call of Duty: Warzone are dominating your storage.

It’s worth noting that while these system requirements are pretty demanding, you can actually play Saints Row without a graphics card. Therefore, if you’ve got an old gaming laptop lying around, or a Steam Deck alternative like the Ayaneo, it’ll probably play nice with your device.
