Confirmed information

  • Windows 11 64-bit is listed.
  • 16 GB RAM is listed for both official tiers.
  • DirectX 12 and 40 GB storage are listed.
  • An SSD is recommended in the official specification.

What is not confirmed yet

  • Large-zoo frame rates.
  • Best graphics settings by GPU.
  • CPU scaling with guests and animals.
  • Console graphics and performance modes.

Minimum versus recommended

Minimum hardware indicates the supported entry tier, not a guaranteed frame rate for every zoo. The recommended tier also cannot substitute for measured benchmarks in dense late-game saves.

Can my PC run it?

Compare CPU, GPU, memory, storage and operating system separately. Avoid a simple yes or no based only on graphics memory, because simulation load can depend heavily on CPU performance.

Benchmark policy

After release, tests should disclose resolution, preset, zoo size, guest count and hardware. Results from small tutorial zoos should not be presented as large-zoo performance.
