Marvelous' Nintendo Switch exclusive Daemon X Machina is coming to PC, new publisher XSeed Games has announced. Nintendo had the publishing duties on console but it looks as if a PC version could be greenlit provided Marvelous found a publisher. Daemon X Machina is a third-person anime mech battling game with deep customisation systems and support for solo and co-op campaigns. It's coming to PC on February 13th, so only a week or so to wait, and here are the PC specs for Daemon X Machina.

Daemon X Machina Minimum System Requirements

  • OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 4-Core 3.2 GHz or AMD FX-8300 8-Core 3.3 GHz
  • RAM: 6 GB System Memory
  • GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
  • GPU: GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870
  • HDD: 13 GB Available Hard Drive Space
  • DX: DirectX 11

Daemon X Machina Recommended System Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-6700 4-Core 3.4 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz
  • RAM: 8 GB System Memory
  • GPU RAM: 4 GB Video Memory
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB
  • HDD: 13 GB Available Hard Drive Space
  • DX: DirectX 11

Considering Daemon X Machina has been designed from the ground up to run on a handheld, it's unsurprising to see the minimum specs come in right at the low-end. The minimum hardware for DxM is getting on for a decade old now, suggesting at least a 2GB video card such as the GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870 paired with an older quad-core CPU.

The one curve-ball here would appear to be the minimum OS Windows 8.1 requirement. We wouldn't pay much attention to this, to be honest, Daemon X Machina should run without a hitch on Windows 7 64-bit.

There's then a mighty jump to the recommended specs for Daemon X Machina, particularly in terms of the CPU demands. They seem monstrous for a game of such relatively small complexity. The GPU requirements are far more reasonable, suggesting a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 580 4GB will be enough run Daemon X Machina at 1080p/60FPS on High graphics settings.

As ever, remember you can always check out how well your PC can run the Daemon X Machina System Requirements here, where you can check benchmarks and performance from other users.

Played the demo on switch and thought it was kinda boring with pretty crappy controls, maybe playing on keyboard and mouse might make it better
