The Low-Budget Repairs store page lists Windows 10 64-bit and 30 GB of available storage. Its minimum row names an AMD Ryzen 5 first generation or Intel Core i5 seventh generation, 8 GB RAM, and Radeon RX 580 4GB or GTX 1060 6GB. The recommended row names a Ryzen 5 third generation or Intel Core i5 tenth generation, 16 GB RAM, and RX 5700 XT 8GB or RTX 2070 8GB.
Minimum row
Treat minimum as the published eligibility floor. Check operating system, processor, memory, GPU and storage together. A machine meeting the row may need reduced settings, but the store page does not promise a frame-rate target.
Keep the GPU memory detail visible: RX 580 4GB and GTX 1060 6GB are not interchangeable with every card carrying a similar name. Record the exact hardware when asking for help.
Recommended row
The recommended specification raises memory from 8 GB to 16 GB and raises both CPU and GPU classes. It is a safer target for a demanding renovation scene, but it is still not a resolution or FPS guarantee.
Leave at least 30 GB available before installation and retain additional headroom for updates. If the final store page changes the values, the official page supersedes this dated guide.
Separate performance from eligibility
A requirement table answers whether a machine falls within the published range. It does not answer the best preset, loading time, frame pacing, controller feel or Steam Deck rating. Those require a build, scene, resolution, settings and repeatable observation.
Do not use a Demo benchmark as proof of base-game performance. Record AppID 3642880 for the Demo and AppID 3167920 for the base game.
Compatibility boundaries
The current store page lists Windows only. It does not establish native macOS/Linux support, Proton compatibility, Steam Deck status, controller support or ultrawide behavior. A community report can be a starting point for a test but cannot be rewritten as official support.
Useful report format
Include operating system, CPU, GPU and VRAM, RAM, resolution, quality preset, driver, build or release date, scene, frame-rate observation and whether the issue repeats. This allows another player to distinguish a hardware limit from a setting or a game bug.
FAQ
How much storage is required?
The current official store page lists 30 GB.
Is Windows required?
The page lists Windows 10 64-bit; other platforms are not established here.
Does recommended guarantee performance?
No. It is a hardware recommendation, not a target frame rate.

Recheck after release
Repeat the requirement test after launch and after major patches, because tool availability and objective wording can change with the build.
Distinguish hardware requirements from job requirements
The Support requirements page covers the Windows PC hardware listed by Steam. This Tools page concerns the in-game condition that an action may require. Do not confuse a stronger GPU with an unlocked repair tool, and do not claim that a listed material is mandatory unless the current objective or interface shows it.
Read the prompt before shopping
Inspect the target object and the current job text. Note whether the interface asks for a tool, material, access condition or earlier repair. Buy the smallest confirmed requirement and return to the room. If the action is rejected, preserve the wording and state rather than guessing a hidden prerequisite.
Record unlock evidence
When a tool becomes available, note the job, objective, product AppID, build date and visible unlock message. If no unlock message appears, describe the observed availability without assigning a level, currency or progression rule. Exact unlock order is not established by the current official store and news evidence.
Keep unverified claims useful
A guide can still help by explaining how to test a requirement: identify the object, read the objective, attempt one valid interaction, inspect the response and reserve budget for recovery. Label exact costs, key bindings, tool tiers and mandatory sequences as pending until the release build supplies reproducible evidence.
