Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis PC & Mac System Requirements

Check the published Steam minimum specifications before installing Genesis on your computer.

Based on official game information. Details checked against the linked sources on September 26, 2026. This page does not claim hands-on testing.

The following minimum specifications are transcribed from the Steam listing reviewed on September 26, 2026. A published minimum is not a guarantee of a particular resolution, frame rate or performance on every hardware combination.

Windows minimum requirements

  • Operating system: Windows 10, with a 64-bit processor and operating system.
  • Processor: Quad Core CPU.
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM.
  • Graphics: Intel UHD 600.
  • Storage: 3 GB available space.

The store does not name an exact CPU model in this field. Do not infer that every four-core processor performs identically. Compare the current store requirements with your actual machine before purchasing.

macOS minimum requirements

  • Operating system: macOS 10.13.
  • Processor: Apple M1 or Intel Core M.
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM.
  • Graphics: OpenGL 3.0 compliant with 1.0 GB of video RAM.
  • Storage: 3 GB available space.

These are the storefront's listed fields, not independent compatibility testing by this wiki. In particular, the combination of operating system and hardware should be checked for your device rather than treating each minimum as interchangeable.

Before troubleshooting a launch problem

Record your operating system version, GPU, available storage and the exact error message. Check the game's current official announcements before applying advice written for a different platform or an earlier build. If you seek help, those details are more useful than simply reporting that the game does not work.

This article does not claim Steam Deck verification, controller certification or unsupported-platform compatibility. For purchase links, see release date and platforms. Once the game is running, the beginner guide is the next place to start.
