ArcheAge Chronicles · PC requirements
Check your PC part by part against the official minimum and recommended specs. Price only the upgrades you actually need, add the box price once it's announced, and get a weekly saving target for launch.
Official specs, your prices. The requirements come from the Steam store page (checked October 21, 2026) and can change before Early Access. No hardware prices are built in: enter what the upgrade costs where you shop.
Minimum: 30 FPS at 1080p on Low settings, with upscaling on Quality.
All prices on this page use this currency.
For each part, pick how yours compares with the minimum (Min) and recommended (Rec) spec. If it falls short of your target, enter what the upgrade would cost.

Buy the must-haves first: anything below the minimum stops the game running well or at all. Treat nice-to-haves as optional until Early Access is out and players report how it actually runs, because requirements and performance often change before and after launch. Prices move too, so it's worth waiting on anything you don't need on day one.
Not sure whether a part is good enough? Leave it on Not sure. The calculator won't price it, and it reminds you to check before you buy.
Enter what you've already put aside and what you can save each week, and the calculator gives a ready date. Or set a date, for example your guess for Early Access, to see the weekly amount you'd need. The box price isn't announced yet, so add a placeholder and update it from the price tracker when it is. The true cost of PC gaming and PC vs. console costs are worth a read before a bigger upgrade.
Is a trade run worth the risk? Enter pack costs, payout, travel time and the chance of losing the cargo to see expected profit per hour, then compare routes.
Is it free, how much will it cost, and is there a cash shop? What has been confirmed, what has only been reported, and what isn't announced yet.
