Minecraft Legends won't be an overly demanding title which is not surprising given it's distinct visual style, which is not that GPU intensive. Mojang recommend seven-year-old graphics cards and only 8 GB of RAM.
Minecraft was always known for its accessibility in terms of low hardware requreiments and the upcoming action strategy Minecraft Legends, which launches this month, won't be any different.
According to the official PC system specs on Steam , Mojang's title will run on seven-year-old graphics cards like Nvidia GTX 1060 and even integrated graphics like Intel HD 520, which seems surreal.
The minimum PC specs, which are probably for 30 FPS and 720p resolution, also list Intel Core i5 2.8 GHz and only 8 GB of RAM. This means the majortiy of PC gamers will get to play Minecraft Legends, which is certainly great news.

Even though Minecraft doesn't feature realistic visuals with detailed textures and foliage, it's still quite impressive that Mojang managed to make a such a pretty game but still keep it accessible for so many PC players.
It's really something that Nvidia's GTX 1060 is the recommended GPU for a game this pretty. But on the other hand, it would not be the first time that revealed PC specs don't matter much as we don't know the target frame rate and resolution of these requirements so we'll have to wait for the game launch to see how well Minecraft Legends actually runs.
Minecraft Legends releases on April 18, 2023 for Nintendo Switch , PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 , Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
