Can I Run Moonlighter 2?
Digital Sun released Moonlighter 2 in 2025. It is an action adventure game, published by 11 bit studios. The game supports a single player campaign. Over 2 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. There are 50 achievements to chase.

Setting and environment
Moonlighter 2 places its action in a fantasy world, and the player works through runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. Generating a fresh layout every run is processor work, so a weak CPU shows up as a pause between areas. There are 33 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Moonlighter 2 is demanding
Demand in Moonlighter 2 is ordinary. The publisher has AMD Radeon RX 5700 or NVidia GeForce RTX 3060 or Intel Arc A770 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. The install is small at roughly 5 GB, on an SSD. Moonlighter 2 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Moonlighter 2 needs 64 bit Windows. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Moonlighter 2 at the floor and Moonlighter 2 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Moonlighter 2?
Moonlighter 2 is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT or NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 or Intel Arc A750 clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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.
