Dear Passengers System Requirements: Minimum PC Specs

Dear Passengers system requirements are published as minimum specs only: Windows 10, Core i5, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1060. Recommended specs are not announced yet.

Dear Passengers System Requirements: Minimum PC Specs

Quick answer: Dear Passengers system requirements exist as a single minimum tier. Steam lists Windows 10 (64-bit), an Intel Core i5 at 2.5 GHz or equivalent, 8 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, DirectX Version 12, and 4 GB of available storage. That is the entire sheet as of September 27, 2026. A recommended tier has not been announced, and there are no Mac or Linux requirements because neither version has been announced either.

The game is still pre-launch: the Steam page reads "This game is not yet available on Steam" with a planned release date of 2026, and no exact date has been announced. Requirements published before launch are a floor, not a finished promise, so treat the table below as what FLEXUS is willing to publish today.

Minimum System Requirements Listed on Steam

Every number here comes from the Steam API pc_requirements payload and the System Requirements block on the store page, both read on September 27, 2026. The payload contains a minimum key and nothing else.

Component Minimum requirement (official)
OS Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor Intel Core i5 @ 2.5 GHz or equivalent
Memory 8 GB RAM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
DirectX Version 12
Storage 4 GB available space

Official source: Dear Passengers on Steam (store page, System Requirements section)

There is no second row, no "recommended" block behind a "View all" toggle, and no high-tier variant hiding in the API. If a site shows you a two-column minimum/recommended sheet for this game, one of those columns was invented.

What Each Minimum Spec Means in Practice

Reading a spec list is one thing; knowing what it changes about your machine is another. Here is the plain reading of each line, without adding any number FLEXUS has not published.

  • OS: Windows 10 (64-bit). 64-bit Windows is the floor. The store page does not mention Windows 11 by name, and it does not list any 32-bit build. Windows on Steam is the only confirmed platform for the game, so this line is effectively the platform statement as well.
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 2.5 GHz or equivalent. The phrasing sets a clock-speed floor and leaves the AMD side open as "or equivalent" instead of naming a specific chip. No core count and no generation are given, so anything above a 2.5 GHz quad-core-class Intel part sits inside the published range on paper.
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM. This is the baseline, and the store page does not say how much memory an actual session consumes. Since no demo and no public build exist yet, there is no measured figure to quote, only the official floor.
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. Two named cards from two vendors, with no VRAM figure attached. Both are DX12-capable parts, which matches the DirectX line, and neither is a high-end card, so the game is positioned as a mid-range load rather than a GPU showpiece.
  • DirectX: Version 12. A DX12 feature level is required. Older GPUs that stop at DX11 do not clear the published minimum even if their raw speed looks comparable.
  • Storage: 4 GB available space. Four gigabytes is a small install footprint for a 3D game in 2026, and it is a pre-launch number: the build that ships can differ. The page lists no separate shader cache, no mod folder, and no day-one patch estimate.

The honest answer to "what are the recommended specs" is that there are none yet. Steam publishes one tier for Dear Passengers, and the store page has no purchase block, no user reviews, and no benchmark data to infer a second tier from.

That situation is normal for a game with a planned release date of "2026" and no exact date. FLEXUS has not shipped a PC game before, this is its first Steam title, and the last official Steam news post as of September 27, 2026 is dated July 31, 2026. Studios usually publish recommended hardware once the final build settles; that has not happened here.

Recommended specs are not published yet

Any Dear Passengers recommended-spec list you find before launch is guesswork, not FLEXUS data. As of September 27, 2026 there is one tier, it is the minimum, and the store page carries no purchase block at all. Bookmark this page instead of trusting a random hardware table.

The same rule applies to performance claims. There are no user reviews on Steam for this game because it has not launched, so no frame-rate target, no resolution ladder, and no ray tracing or upscaler setting has been confirmed by anyone.

What the Requirements Sheet Does Not Cover

Half the confusion around this game's hardware page comes from what is missing rather than what is listed. Here is the status of every adjacent question as of September 27, 2026.

Question Status Where it comes from
Windows (Steam) build Confirmed Steam API platforms.windows: true
macOS version and Mac requirements Not announced (API mac: false) Steam API
Linux version and Linux requirements Not announced (API linux: false) Steam API
Steam Deck Verified or Playable Not announced Store page carries no Deck badge
Recommended PC tier Not announced API pc_requirements has no minimum sibling key
Xbox, PS5, Switch, Switch 2 Unconfirmed Official Discord FAQ: still deciding which platforms (via Insider Gaming, July 21, 2026)
Release date and price Both unannounced Steam shows "Planned Release Date: 2026"; no price block exists

Two of those rows deserve emphasis. There is no Mac or Linux port to spec out, so a "Dear Passengers on Mac" requirements table cannot be honest yet, and the console question is still open in the same way it was in July. For the wider platform picture, see the console tracking page and the release date page.

How You Will Learn When the Requirements Change

FLEXUS updates players through the same three channels it has used since announcement. Nothing about the spec sheet will change silently.

  1. Wishlisting the game on Steam. Wishlisted accounts get an email the moment the store page flips from coming soon to available, which is also when any revised spec sheet would go live. The step-by-step is on the wishlist guide.
  2. Following the Steam news feed. All official posts land in the app news feed for appid 4534960, including the July 31, 2026 post that reported 2,000,000 wishlists and Steam Top 6.
  3. Joining the official Discord or following the studio. The Discord runs an FAQ that has already answered platform questions, and the studio posts on X as flexus_games.
  4. Watching the price announcement. Pricing has not been announced either, and Steam tends to show price and system requirements together when a store page goes final.

Until one of those fires, the six-line minimum table above is the whole official answer, and the recommended tier remains not announced.

FAQ

Can my PC run Dear Passengers?

If your machine meets all six minimum lines, it clears the published bar: Windows 10 (64-bit), an Intel Core i5 at 2.5 GHz or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, a GTX 1060 or RX 6600 XT, DirectX 12, and 4 GB of free space. That is a minimum only, and no benchmark, frame-rate target, or recommended tier has been published to tell you how well it will run.

No. As of September 27, 2026 Steam publishes a minimum requirements key only, and the store page shows no recommended block. Any recommended list circulating online is not official FLEXUS data.

Does Dear Passengers run on Mac or Linux?

Neither version has been announced. The Steam API reports mac: false and linux: false, so there are no Mac or Linux system requirements to publish. Windows on Steam is the only confirmed platform.

How much storage does Dear Passengers need?

Steam lists 4 GB of available space as the minimum. The game is still pre-launch, so that figure can move before release; nothing larger has been announced.

Will the system requirements change before launch?

They might. A pre-launch minimum is a floor, and the final build has not shipped. The Steam news feed, the official Discord, and your wishlist notification are the three places an update would appear first.
