Aion 2 System Requirements

To run Aion 2 at the minimum tier you need a 64-bit copy of Windows 10 or 11, a mainstream CPU and GPU from a few generations back, and 100 GB of free storage. NC notes that an SSD is recommended, and that at 1080p (FHD) the in-game graphics preset should be set to Very Low to stay within the minimum hardware envelope.

For a smoother experience, the recommended specs step up the CPU, double the RAM to 16 GB, and move to an 8 GB-class GPU. Even at the recommended tier, NC’s official guidance suggests setting the FHD graphics preset to Low for guaranteed compatibility — a hint that maxing out an Unreal Engine 5 title at higher resolutions or quality presets will want hardware above this baseline.

These are mainstream, several-generations-old parts, so the headline takeaway is that you do not need a cutting-edge gaming PC to play Aion 2. If you are buying or upgrading a PC for it, aim for at least the recommended tier — a Ryzen 7 3700X / Core i7-11700-class CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and an 8 GB-class GPU such as an RTX 2070 or newer — and install the game on an SSD with at least 100 GB free, bearing in mind that day-one patches can push the real footprint higher. Because this is an Unreal Engine 5 game, expect that hitting high settings or resolutions above 1080p will reward more modern hardware than the published recommended spec.

The Steam page lists Windows only — there is no Mac, Linux, or native SteamOS support shown, and no console version (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or Switch) has been announced for either the regional or the global release. As of May 31, 2026, the Steam page also carries no published Steam Deck compatibility rating (Verified, Playable, or Unsupported); because Aion 2 is a Windows/DirectX 12 title, any Deck play would depend on Proton once the game is testable. Treat Steam Deck support as unconfirmed until Valve assigns a rating closer to launch.

Yes. The specs above are listed on the international Steam page and match NC’s April 2026 PC requirements, so they are the authoritative numbers for the global PC build (targeted for H2 2026). It is worth separating the two releases, though: Aion 2 already launched in South Korea and Taiwan on November 19, 2025, and that version is cross-platform (PC and mobile). The Western/global release is described as PC-native and distributed via Steam and NC’s PURPLE launcher, with dedicated servers for North America, South America, Europe and Japan. If any third-party aggregator page disagrees with the figures here, treat the official Steam listing as the source of truth.

• Exact global release date (only “second half of 2026” has been confirmed as of May 31, 2026).
• Official Steam Deck compatibility rating (Verified / Playable / Unsupported) — none was listed on the Steam page at the time of writing.
• Any console version (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch) — none has been announced.
• DLSS/FSR upscaling, ray-tracing, ultrawide support, and FPS targets at 1440p/4K — not detailed in the published spec tables.
• Day-one install size beyond the 100 GB “available space” figure, and whether it grows after launch patches.
