Whether you plan to preload or start downloading once the game is live, make sure you have at least 117 GB of free storage space. It’s not yet clear whether there will be a Day-One patch. The Xbox and PlayStation versions are expected to be similar in size, but official details are still pending.
System requirements for Anno 117 on PC
Anno 117: Pax Romana is designed to take full advantage of modern hardware, rendering detailed Roman cities and landscapes. Ubisoft has already released the official PC system requirements, which are significantly higher than in previous installments.
Minimum requirements:
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (6 GB)
- Storage: 117 GB
Recommended requirements:
- OS: Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 (8 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (8 GB)
- Storage: 117 GB
For higher graphic presets (Enthusiast or Ultra), Ubisoft recommends much more powerful hardware — from an RTX 3060 Ti up to an RTX 4080 Super, along with as much as 32 GB of RAM. If you plan to play in 4K or with ray tracing enabled, be ready to upgrade.
