This guide covers the PC system requirements for Neverness to Everness on Windows - minimum specs, recommended specs, download size, and practical settings advice for getting the game running well on your hardware.
NTE is a free-to-play open-world RPG built on Unreal Engine 5. The engine choice is relevant to performance expectations - UE5 scales well across hardware tiers, but mid-range and lower-end PCs will need to manage settings deliberately.
Check whether your setup meets the requirements
See the specsMinimum and recommended specifications
The minimum requirements for NTE on Windows PC allow the game to run at reduced visual settings while maintaining playable frame rates in most areas. The recommended specifications target stable performance at higher quality levels.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 / 11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-6600K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB / AMD RX 5500 XT 8GB | NVIDIA RTX 2080 / AMD RX 6700 XT |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 40 GB SSD | 40 GB SSD |
| DirectX | DirectX 11 | DirectX 12 |

What these specs mean for your hardware
The minimum GPU tier - GTX 1060 6GB and RX 5500 XT 8GB - targets low to medium settings with frame rates around 30 to 45 FPS in densely populated city areas. The minimum CPU requirement reflects the game's simulation load from city density rather than raw graphical demand.
The recommended GPU tier - RTX 2080 and RX 6700 XT - targets high settings at 60 FPS in most city zones. Ray tracing is available on supported hardware but is recommended only on the higher recommended spec tier, as it adds significant rendering cost in urban environments where reflective surfaces are common.
RAM sits at 16 GB across both tiers. NTE's open-world streaming model keeps active memory usage elevated during play, and systems running exactly 16 GB may see occasional frame drops in the densest districts if background applications are competing for memory.
-
Check your GPU against the minimum spec If your GPU is below GTX 1060 6GB or RX 5500 XT 8GB, the game will run but visual quality will be reduced significantly
-
Verify your RAM and storage 16 GB RAM and 40 GB available SSD space are the baseline - lower RAM or HDD storage will affect performance and loading
-
Set graphics quality in-game Launch NTE and use the automatic detection tool first - it calibrates to your hardware and provides a useful starting point
-
Adjust resolution scale before preset quality Lowering resolution scale from 100% to 75% recovers significant performance with less visual impact than lowering the quality preset
-
Disable ray tracing unless on the recommended tier Ray tracing in NTE's urban environment is GPU-intensive - disable it on mid-range hardware and reclaim the frame budget for stability
Performance settings for mid-range hardware
Mid-range PCs - those around the minimum to recommended boundary - can achieve stable performance with targeted settings adjustments. The settings that have the largest impact on NTE are shadows, ambient occlusion, and reflection quality. These three can be lowered from high to medium individually without visibly reducing the character and environment detail that defines the game's visual identity.
Resolution scale is the most effective single adjustment. At 75% resolution scale with other settings at medium, most GTX 1060-class GPUs produce stable frame rates in the main districts. The traversal and combat sections are more GPU-intensive than static exploration, so keep frame rate expectations calibrated to your peak load rather than idle moments in the open world.
Resolution scale
The most effective single adjustment for recovering GPU frame budget
Shadow quality
High to medium reduces load significantly with limited visual impact at distance
Ambient occlusion
Medium or low in city districts - affects ground-level shadow depth
Reflection quality
High reflection quality is costly in NTE's urban environment with glass surfaces
Anti-aliasing
DLSS and FSR are available - use quality mode on supported hardware
Ray tracing
Disable on GTX and RX 5000-series hardware - recommended tier only

NTE requires 40 GB of available storage space. [CITE: Source: Hotta Studio, NTE official PC system requirements, 2026]
The game is available on Steam and through the official client. Both distribution paths deliver the same client. If you have been considering NTE on PC, the SSD requirement is worth noting - the game's open-world streaming model means that traditional HDD installations will produce notable stutters during fast traversal across district boundaries.
Platforms and availability
NTE on Windows PC is available through Steam and the official Hotta Studio client. The game launched globally on April 29, 2026, and is free to download and play. [CITE: Source: Hotta Studio, official launch announcement, 2026]
- Scales across hardware tiers - playable from GTX 1060 class through high-end recommended specs
- DLSS and FSR support helps mid-range hardware maintain stable frame rates
- Free to download - no purchase cost to test the game on your hardware
- SSD strongly preferred over HDD for smooth open-world streaming
- Ray tracing is performance-intensive in urban environments and best left for recommended-tier hardware
NTE's hardware requirements are reasonable for a UE5 open-world game - the minimum spec is achievable on GTX 1060-class hardware with settings adjustments, and the recommended tier targets stable 60 FPS on mid-to-high setups
Getting the best experience on your hardware
NTE's PC version is well-suited to players on mid-range hardware who are comfortable with settings tuning - the game scales and the free entry point removes the risk of testing it on your setup
If your PC meets or exceeds the minimum specification, the game is worth running the automatic detection tool and trying the first hour - the performance profile on supported hardware is solid

Running on a GTX 1070 at medium settings and getting stable performace. Resolution scale at 80% makes a real difference. Good guide for knowing what to expect.
