Can I Run Dragon Quest Monsters?
Released in 2024, Dragon Quest Monsters is a role playing game built by Square Enix. The game supports a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. There are 15 achievements to chase. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an anime styled world. Play is structured around a deck the player refines between encounters. Play is presented in three dimensions. The publisher supplies 13 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Dragon Quest Monsters is demanding
Dragon Quest Monsters is undemanding on the graphics side. Its AMD Radeon RX 560 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Dragon Quest Monsters. Disk footprint is light, near 10 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Dragon Quest Monsters at the floor and Dragon Quest Monsters at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Dragon Quest Monsters needs only 8 GB of RAM. Dragon Quest Monsters needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dragon Quest Monsters?
Dragon Quest Monsters is light on hardware. Its minimum, AMD Radeon™ RX 460 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750, 8 GB RAM, about 10 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Dragon Quest Monsters's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
