Developer Mithril Interactive has revealed the system requirements for Dungeonborne, a first-person extraction game that pits players against the elements while fending off other players in real-time. For players interested in jumping into the free-to-play experience, the minimum system requirements will need to be met, although getting closer to the higher end side of what Dungeonborne recommends will give players better results. Dungeonborne runs quite heavily, so it’s advised to get as close as possible to the maximum specifications.
Initially released in September 2023, Dungeonborne is an experience that is sure to excite Elden Ring fans who look for challenging games with great rewards and a thrilling experience at every turn. The game’s main focus point is to get into a dungeon, defeat any enemies in the way, and grab the rewards, which feels like a typical extraction action game. Where it turns the player’s experience upside down is with the player environment element, forcing players to enter dungeons with other real-life players, making it more dangerous when reaching that large treasure chest. Should someone else stumble upon the rewards, it will be a battle to the death.

On Dungeonborne‘s Steam page, Mithril Interactive highlights the minimum requirements required to run the game on PC, along with the recommended requirements that will ensure players have a premium experience. While Dungeonborne could benefit from better optimization in a later patch, players can still log in and enjoy the game with a basic set-up. With that said, playing Dungeonborne with the minimum requirements could lead to plenty of lag and freezing, as well as crashing during more graphic-intensive stages.

The ability to run Dungeonborne on a processor released 15 years ago is sure to encourage more players to join in, ramping up the total player count. Due to the game being free-to-play and focusing on group play over running solo, the developer’s choice to bring a wide range of minimal and optimized specs is the best outcome for all players. Thankfully, the same can be said for the GPU requirements, which can be run with a simple GeForce GTX 1060. For players needing an upgrade over their current set-up, the GTX 1060 runs at an affordable price and is simple to install and run.
All things considered, running Dungeonborne at the lowest required system requirements could make life difficult for players diving in for the first time. Since Dungeonborne places a heavy emphasis on extraction and player versus player and environment, there is sure to be a healthy number of users running at optimal settings with fluid motion. With the minimum settings, players may run into several instances of lag, including freeze frames of up to five seconds. It is recommended for new players to have a squad of friends to jump into the game with, as survival will be easier in a group than doing it alone.
