System Requirements

Silver Palace is built on Unreal Engine 5, the same engine driving the most demanding games of this generation, and that decision shapes everything about who can run it. The visuals are gorgeous, but the hardware bill comes due in the form of a dedicated GPU, plenty of memory, and fast SSD storage. Before you sign up for the beta or clear space on your drive, it is worth knowing exactly where your PC lands against the published targets.

The most recent official numbers come from the Dichotomy Beta Test, the PC-only closed beta whose recruitment opened in June 2026. Elementa published a full minimum and recommended PC spec for that test, and those are the figures reproduced below — the latest hardware requirements the developer has actually confirmed. Final launch requirements have not been announced yet and could shift, so treat these as the current official target rather than a permanent guarantee. If you want into that test, our Dichotomy Beta Test guide walks through sign-up and dates.

Because the Dichotomy build is Windows-only, the specs below are PC requirements. Silver Palace has been announced for mobile as well, but no official mobile specs have been released, so the mobile section further down is clearly marked as an estimate rather than confirmed data. Read on to find your tier, then check the notes that apply to you.

Quick Answer

The official recommended PC build is an Intel Core i7-12700 or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, 16 GB of RAM, 8 GB of VRAM, and 65 GB of SSD space. The official minimum drops to an Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, a GTX 1060 6 GB or Radeon RX 580 8 GB, 12 GB of RAM, and 6 GB of VRAM — still on the same 65 GB SSD. There is no escaping the dedicated-GPU requirement or the SSD.

The storage line is the one most people miss: budget 65 GB free on an SSD, plus a temporary extra 25 GB while the client unpacks during installation. If your rig sits around the GTX 1060 / RX 580 floor you can get in, but do not expect recommended-tier visuals. If you fall short on RAM, VRAM, or GPU, those are the upgrades that matter most.

Official PC Requirements

These are the PC requirements published for the Dichotomy Beta Test, and they are notably more accessible than many UE5 titles at the minimum end — a six-core i7-8700 and a GTX 1060 6 GB date back to 2017, so a lot of older machines will clear the bar. The trade-off is that the minimum tier is exactly that: enough to launch and play a work-in-progress build, not to enjoy the game at its best.

The two gatekeepers are the GPU and storage. Integrated graphics will not meet the minimum, so a dedicated card from the GTX 1060 6 GB or RX 580 8 GB on up is mandatory, and the official spec lists SSD storage at both tiers rather than allowing a slow hard drive. Note the operating system requirement too: Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 21H2 or higher, so a fully updated Windows install is assumed.

Read across the table and the upgrade path is straightforward. The minimum tier gets you in the door on hardware that is now several generations old, while the recommended tier — an i7-12700 / Ryzen 7 5800X paired with an RTX 3060 / RX 6600 XT and 16 GB of RAM — is the comfortable target for a smooth experience. Whatever you run, keep an SSD with at least 90 GB of headroom during installation so the extraction step has room to work.

Mobile Device Compatibility

Silver Palace has been confirmed for mobile alongside PC, but the Dichotomy Beta Test is Windows-only and Elementa has not published official mobile system requirements yet. Everything in this section is therefore an estimate based on the game's UE5 foundation and the demands of comparable releases — not confirmed data. Treat it as a planning guide and check back once official mobile specs land.

On that basis, expect the game to favour recent flagship silicon. For iOS, a realistic floor is an iPhone 12-class device with a more recent iPhone (such as an iPhone 14 Pro) for the best experience, while on Android a Snapdragon 865 / Dimensity 1000-class chip with 8 GB of RAM looks like a sensible minimum and a current flagship like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 / Dimensity 9200 with 12 GB of RAM the comfortable target. iPad Pro models and Android gaming phones with active cooling will handle long sessions best. Again, these are projections pending official confirmation.

Given how demanding the PC build is, mobile optimisation is the open question. It is reasonable to expect dynamic resolution scaling and reduced or disabled UE5 features such as Lumen and Nanite on phones, with frame-rate targets that vary widely by device. None of that is confirmed, so hold these expectations loosely until the developer publishes mobile specs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Silver Palace run on integrated graphics?

No. The official minimum lists a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB. Integrated graphics such as Intel UHD or basic AMD APUs fall short of that, so a discrete GPU is required.

Do I need an SSD to play Silver Palace?

Yes. The official Dichotomy Beta Test requirements list 65 GB of SSD storage at both the minimum and recommended tiers, plus roughly 25 GB of temporary space during extraction. Unreal Engine 5's asset streaming benefits heavily from fast storage, so an SSD is the expectation rather than an option.

How large is the Silver Palace install size?

The Dichotomy Beta Test requires 65 GB of SSD space, with an additional ~25 GB needed temporarily while the client extracts during installation. Plan for around 90 GB of free space during install. Final launch sizes may differ and can grow with post-launch updates.

Will Silver Palace run on Steam Deck?

Steam Deck compatibility has not been officially confirmed. With the minimum now set at a GTX 1060 6 GB / RX 580 8 GB-class GPU, performance on the Deck's APU is uncertain and not guaranteed. Check community reports closer to launch.

Can I play Silver Palace on my MacBook?

Not natively. The Dichotomy Beta Test is Windows-only, and Silver Palace is not available for macOS. Mac users would need Boot Camp (Intel Macs only) or Windows virtualization, with significantly reduced performance. A mobile version has been announced for phones and tablets.

Is 8 GB of RAM enough for Silver Palace?

No. The official minimum is 12 GB of RAM, with 16 GB recommended. Unreal Engine 5 games are memory-intensive, so 8 GB falls below spec and can cause crashes, stuttering, or a failure to launch.

Once you know your hardware clears the bar, the next step is getting the most out of the game itself. If you want into the current test, start with the Dichotomy Beta Test guide, then read the Beginner's Guide for the fundamentals, Combat Mastery for the moment-to-moment fighting, and the Movement & Exploration guide to see how the UE5 world is meant to be traversed.
