System requirements ​

This page contains system requirements for the editor and exported projects. These specifications are given for informative purposes only, but they can be referred to if you're looking to build or upgrade a system to use Godot on.

Godot editor ​

These are the minimum specifications required to run the Godot editor and work on a simple 2D or 3D project:

Desktop or laptop PC - Minimum ​

CPU

  • Windows: x86_32 CPU with SSE2 instructions, x86_64 CPU, ARMv8 CPU

Exported Godot project ​

WARNING

The requirements below are a baseline for a simple 2D or 3D project, with basic scripting and few visual flourishes. CPU, GPU, RAM and storage requirements will heavily vary depending on your project's scope, its renderer, viewport resolution and graphics settings chosen. Other programs running on the system while the project is running will also compete for resources, including RAM and video RAM.

It is strongly recommended to do your own testing on low-end hardware to make sure your project runs at the desired speed. To provide scalability for low-end hardware, you will also need to introduce a graphics options menu to your project.
