Scavland system requirements

The official minimum and recommended listing, plus the platform details that still need a real-device check.

Official listing / hardware test open

Short answer

The official Steam listing currently gives the same processor, graphics, DirectX, storage, and sound-card baseline for minimum and recommended configurations; the main listed memory difference is 8 GB minimum versus 12 GB recommended. Controller support and Steam Deck compatibility are also listed.

Input layouts can change with the 0.6.x controls rebuild, so use the current action hints and bindings page.

02 / handheldSteam Deck compatibility is listed

Compatibility is not the same as a promise of one universal frame rate or text size. Test your device and settings.

Update 0.6.0 adds Chinese while noting that the professional localization is still in progress.

Pre-purchase and troubleshooting checks

Hardware is only one part of the buying decision. Check the Scavland game overview and Early Access checklist for what is playable now, what remains planned, and where to start after installing.

  1. Compare your OS and memory first.Windows 10 and 8 GB RAM are the clearest minimum checks from the official listing.
  2. Confirm graphics API support.The listing calls for a dedicated 2 GB GPU with OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL 1.2 support, plus DirectX 11.
  3. Leave storage headroom.The listed game footprint is 2 GB, but patches and Steam overhead still need room beyond that line.
  4. For Deck issues, name the device and build.Record controls, text scaling, performance, controller layout, and update version rather than reporting “Steam Deck broken.”

Requirements FAQ

Can I run Scavland with 8 GB RAM?

8 GB is the official minimum listed on Steam. Actual performance depends on the rest of the system, settings, background load, and future updates.

Does Scavland support Steam Deck?

The official listing says Steam Deck compatibility and full controller support. It does not guarantee identical performance or UI comfort on every Deck configuration.

Is Chinese supported?

Update 0.6.0 added an early Chinese localization and says a professional translation is still in progress. Expect wording and coverage to improve.

How much storage does Scavland need?

The official listing currently says 2 GB available space. Keep additional headroom for Steam, saves, and updates.

Are these requirements final?

No. Scavland is in Early Access, so requirements and platform behavior can change. Check the Steam listing and the update tracker before making a hardware conclusion.
