Can I Run Slay the Spire 2?
Released in 2026, Slay the Spire 2 is an indie strategy game built by Mega Crit. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It is localised into 14 languages according to the store listing. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Over 200 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.
