Source: Official Steam store listing for Animula Nook, cross-checked against the specs published for the March 2026 PC alpha test. The developers have stated that requirements are not final while optimisation continues.
Wondering whether your PC can run it? Here are the official Animula Nook system requirements as currently published — including the minimum tier, which is the figure most people are looking for.
Minimum PC requirements
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 2060 / AMD RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A750 |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Network | Broadband internet connection |
| Storage | 20 GB available SSD space |
Recommended PC requirements
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or later |
| CPU | Intel Core i5 (11th gen) / AMD Ryzen 5 5000 series |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 2060 / AMD RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A750 |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Network | Broadband internet connection |
| Storage | 20 GB available SSD space |
Two things stand out. First, 16 GB of RAM is the floor, not the target — there is no 8 GB tier. Second, the GPU requirement is identical across both tiers; the difference between minimum and recommended is entirely CPU generation.
Can my PC run Animula Nook?
Probably, if it has a discrete GPU from 2019 or later and 16 GB of RAM. The RTX 2060 / RX 5700 XT bar is a 2019-era mid-range card, and the Arc A750 alternative gives Intel GPU owners a route in. An integrated-graphics laptop is unlikely to clear the bar as the specs currently stand.
An SSD is specified rather than suggested, and the broadband requirement is not optional — Animula Nook’s co-op and cross-platform progress syncing are online features.
What the alpha told us
The March 2026 closed alpha ran on Steam, PC only, and shipped with Medium and High quality settings only — the team was open that visual optimisation was still in progress and that alpha visuals did not represent final quality. Since then they have announced a dedicated technical optimisation task force and a full visual pass, so final requirements may shift in either direction.
Supported languages
The Steam listing currently shows 10 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Thai, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Latin America). The March 2026 alpha was limited to English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Mac, PS5 and Switch 2 requirements
None have been published. macOS, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 are all confirmed platforms, but no per-platform specs or performance targets have been announced. See the platforms guide for what’s confirmed on each.
