Hood Warfare 2 System Requirements

The Hood Warfare 2 system requirements are modest for an Unreal Engine 5 shooter: you need Windows 10 64-bit, a GTX 1660 or RX 5600 XT graphics card, an Intel Core i5-9600K or Ryzen 5 3600, 8 GB of RAM and 25 GB of free space. For the recommended experience, Steam lists an RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 4060, an i5-12600K or Ryzen 5 7600 and 16 GB of RAM. Check your own PC with the tool below.

Hood Warfare 2 graphics card requirements

The graphics card is where most PCs fall short of the Hood Warfare 2 system requirements. The minimum is a GTX 1660 or RX 5600 XT with 6 GB of video memory; the recommended cards, an RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 4060, have 8 GB. Hood Warfare 2 is built in Unreal Engine 5 and needs DirectX 12, so older cards such as the GTX 1050 Ti and RX 580 sit below the line.

Processor and memory

On the processor side, the Hood Warfare 2 system requirements ask for 6 core chips, the Intel Core i5-9600K and AMD Ryzen 5 3600; the recommended i5-12600K and Ryzen 5 7600 are newer and faster per core. For memory, 8 GB is the minimum and 16 GB is recommended. 16 GB also leaves room for Discord, a browser and Steam running beside the game.

Hood Warfare 2 game size and storage

Steam asks for 25 GB of free space at minimum and recommends 30 GB. The extra room covers patches: Trapstar Games shipped its first update four days after launch and says more are coming. Steam does not list an SSD requirement, but an SSD loads Unreal Engine 5 maps faster than a hard drive.

Steam Deck, laptops and handhelds

The Steam Deck and Windows handhelds such as the ROG Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X and Legion Go have integrated graphics below the GTX 1660 minimum in the Hood Warfare 2 system requirements. Players on Reddit report Hood Warfare 2 runs on the Steam Deck at low settings, but Valve has not rated it, and its Easy Anti-Cheat needs the developer to allow Linux. Gaming laptops are a safer bet: a laptop with an RTX 3060 or RTX 4050 laptop graphics card or better meets the minimum. See which devices run it on the Hood Warfare 2 PS5 and Xbox page.

Operating system and anti-cheat

The Hood Warfare 2 system requirements start at Windows 10 64-bit, version 1909 or newer, and Steam recommends Windows 11. There is no Mac or Linux version. Since patch 1.0.10 the game runs Easy Anti-Cheat with a kernel-level driver, which installs with the game and has to stay enabled to play online.

If your PC is below the minimum

If your PC misses the Hood Warfare 2 system requirements, try these before you give up:

  • Update your graphics driver from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel before you launch the game.
  • Close background apps such as browsers and launchers to free memory on an 8 GB system.
  • Drop the resolution and settings in the game's options before your first match.
  • Use Steam's refund window. Steam refunds games played under two hours within 14 days of purchase, so you can test Hood Warfare 2 on your own PC with little risk.
