Is your PC ready for Empire of Ants?

Stunning Unreal Engine 5 RTS, Empire of Ants, now has preliminary PC system requirements

Empire of Ants is a stunning game, and now the game has preliminary PC system requirements on Steam. The game is launching on both PC and consoles on November 7th, giving gamers access to one of the most visually pleasing Unreal Engine 5 titles to date.

On PC, Empire of Ants will be available through Steam. The game is already seen as a major Unreal Engine 5 showcase, with incredible levels of environmental detail. On PC, Tower Five has recommended some relatively high-end pieces of hardware to run this game. That said, the game’s minimum system requirements aren’t overly high. Hopefully that means that this game will be highly scalable on PC.

Note that Empire of Ants’ PC system requirements are preliminary. They may change before launch. That said, the game’s recommended graphics cards are currently AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 and Nvidia’s RTX 3080. Storage-wise, this game isn’t huge, requiring only 30GB of PC storage. CPU-wise, fairly strong 6-core CPUs like Intel’s i5-9600 and  AMD’s Ryzen 5 3600 are recommended. That said, it remains to be seen how these CPUs will hold up when large ant army battles unfold.

Below are Empire of Ants’ full hardware requirements. With this game’s minimum GPUs being Nvidia’s GTX 1060 and AMD’s RX 580, we can expect most PC gamers to be able to play this game without issue. However, we expect this game to be challenging to run at max settings. After all, this is an Unreal Engine title, and a great looking one at that.

Although Tower Five has not revealed this, we expect this game to support FSR 3 and DLSS 3. Surely this game has garnered enough attention to ensure that Nvidia and AMD will be pushing DLSS/FSR support? We expect this support to be vital for running this RTS at high resolutions and refresh rates on PC.
