Answer first

Quick Answer

Grounded's Windows PC minimum lists a Core i3-3225, 4 GB RAM, GTX 650 Ti, and 8 GB storage. The recommended tier lists a Core i7-7700K or Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 1060 6 GB or RX 470. These are hardware floors, not guaranteed frame-rate targets.

Core Answer

Grounded's Windows PC minimum lists a Core i3-3225, 4 GB RAM, GTX 650 Ti, and 8 GB storage. The recommended tier lists a Core i7-7700K or Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 1060 6 GB or RX 470. These are hardware floors, not guaranteed frame-rate targets.

The world is a vast, beautiful and dangerous place – especially when you have been shrunk to the size of an ant. Can you thrive alongside the hordes of giant insects, fighting to survive the perils of the backyard?

How to Verify It

  1. Open the official Steam page linked in Sources.
  2. Check the release panel and feature icons before relying on an older guide.
  3. Compare the listing date with Last Verified: 2026-09-01.
  4. For patch-sensitive details, open the newest developer announcement rather than inferring from tags.

Requirements and Limits

This answer uses only fields published by Obsidian Entertainment or Xbox Game Studios through Steam. A missing badge or field is reported as not officially confirmed, not converted into a guessed “no.” The captured game status is released, and the listed platforms are PC.

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming every store platform can play together.
  • Reading “controller support” as a guarantee for every controller model.
  • Treating a news headline as a numbered patch when the developer did not label it that way.
  • Copying requirements or dates from an undated third-party snippet.

FPS Optimization

  1. Use the official minimum specification as a floor, not a performance guarantee.

Common Problems

  • Confusing minimum requirements with a target frame rate.
  • Using unofficial Deck reports as an official rating.
