Compare your PC’s Windows version, processor, graphics card and video memory, and RAM with the game’s official Steam requirements. Steam lists a minimum target of “Fastest 1080p @ 30 FPS” and a recommended target of “Beautiful 1080p @ 60 FPS”; these are store-listed targets, not a guarantee of the same performance on every computer.
Official PC requirements
The following specifications are from the Steam listing for Shoresy: Legends of the North, checked October 7, 2026. The requirements apply to the Windows PC version on Steam.

| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 | Windows 11 |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-2500 or AMD FX-8300 | Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 with 2 GB, AMD R7 450 with 2 GB, or Intel Arc A310 LP with 4 GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 with 6 GB, AMD Radeon RX 580X with 8 GB, or Intel Arc A580 with 8 GB |
| DirectX | DirectX 11 | Not stated in the recommended row |
| Steam performance note | “Fastest 1080p @ 30 FPS” | “Beautiful 1080p @ 60 FPS” |
| Storage | Steam currently says “2 MB available space”; the value is anomalously small and should not be treated as a reliable install-size estimate | No separate recommended storage figure stated |
How to check your Windows PC
- Check Windows and your processor. Open Settings > System > About to view your Windows edition and device specifications, including the processor. You can also open System Information for OS and processor details.
- Check installed RAM and graphics. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, then select Performance. Choose Memory to see installed RAM and GPU to identify the graphics processor. Note the exact GPU model and its dedicated video memory; compare both with the named cards and capacities in Steam’s requirements.
- Compare the full configuration with the minimum tier. Check the operating system, processor, RAM, GPU model and video memory, and DirectX support. Having enough RAM alone does not make a PC meet the requirements if its processor or graphics card falls short.
- Use recommended specs as the higher target. If your PC meets the recommended tier, it matches the stronger hardware level associated on Steam with “Beautiful 1080p @ 60 FPS.” Steam’s note describes a target, not a guarantee for every system.
- Verify storage in Steam before installing. Because the listing’s minimum storage line says only “2 MB available space,” check the current download and installed-size information on Steam rather than planning around that number.
What the comparison can—and cannot—tell you
Meeting or exceeding the minimum requirements is the store’s baseline for attempting to run the game; it does not ensure identical frame rates across PCs. Actual results can vary with the complete system and its configuration. If a component is below the minimum, compare the rest of the PC before deciding whether an upgrade is needed; a single component alone is not enough to prescribe one.
The listing describes a single-player story mode and local multiplayer Shinny Mode, and says Steam Remote Play can be used for online play. These features do not change the published hardware comparison. The listing names Treewood Games as developer and New Metric Media and Play Fun Games as publishers, and gives a release date of November 22, 2025.
