Minecraft Dungeons II is a light game by 2026 standards. The specification set that launch previews report is old-hardware friendly, consistent with a couch co-op action game built on voxel art. One caveat applies to this whole page and is spelled out below: the numbers come from press coverage of the launch build, not from a Mojang page we could verify directly.
The reported specification table
| Tier | CPU | GPU | RAM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 2200G | NVIDIA GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560 | 8 GB |
| Recommended | Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580 | 16 GB |
Read the two tiers the standard way: minimum targets the game running, recommended targets it running comfortably with headroom. A GTX 1050-era machine is close to a decade old, so most gaming PCs from the last several years clear the recommended row without ceremony.
What we could not verify
- The store requirements table. We did not locate these rows on a first-party page. If the Steam page lists different specs after launch, the store page wins.
- Storage size. No download footprint has been published. The console listing leaves the required space field open.
- Ray tracing, resolution caps or frame-rate targets. Nothing official exists for any platform.
Steam Deck
Dungeons II is a Windows game sold on Steam, and its reported minimum specification is far below the Deck's capability, but Valve has not published a verified status for the title and Mojang has not claimed one. Treat Deck play as plausible but unverified until the compatibility rating appears on the store page. The full platform list.
Do you need to upgrade?
On the reported numbers, no: a machine that runs the first Minecraft Dungeons comfortably will run the sequel. The heavier demands in Dungeons II are mechanical, not graphical, and if you are building around the new equipment systems, the bottleneck will be your loot luck rather than your GPU. For what the machine needs to be worth running at all, what the game costs matters more than what it demands.
FAQ
Is 8 GB of RAM enough?
It matches the reported minimum. For a game of this type it is workable, but if you keep a browser stream open on a second monitor, the recommended 16 GB is the more realistic target.
Does the game run on Windows 10?
No OS requirement has been published. Steam storefront requirements typically list Windows 10 or newer; check the store page for the final wording.
Where is the official requirements page?
If Mojang publishes one, this page will be updated the same day with the source linked. Until then the table above stays labelled partial.
