Ananta PC System Requirements — The Publisher's Own Spec Sheet

Steam says TBD. The publisher’s other storefront does not.

Ananta now has a release date — January 15, 2027 — and a live Steam store page as of August 25, 2026. The Steam spec block is almost entirely empty:

Those three rows are the entire block. Steam lists no memory, storage or DirectX fields for Ananta at all.

But Steam is not the only storefront the publisher controls. Ananta’s listing on TapTap — filed under NetEase Games, with the supplier named as Hangzhou NetEase Leihuo Technology Co., Ltd. — carries a complete Windows spec sheet, and the listing’s own update timestamp reads August 25, 2026, the same day the release date went public. That makes it the most recently maintained first-party spec sheet available anywhere, and it is the source for the table further down this page.

Two caveats worth holding onto. It is the Chinese storefront listing, though that same listing states the January 15, 2027 date is a global launch. And a store listing for an unreleased game is not a finalised launch requirement — several outlets covering the announcement described Ananta’s PC requirements as still unconfirmed on exactly that basis, and there are four months left for the numbers to move.

Two things that are settled by the storefronts: the game is Windows-only — no macOS or Linux — and Windows 11 is explicitly supported alongside Windows 10.

Also confirmed on August 25: NVIDIA announced that Ananta, which had previously committed to launching with DLSS 4, will now ship with DLSS 4.5 — specifically Super Resolution and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation — alongside its ray-traced world. That is a launch-feature commitment, not a requirement: DLSS and ray tracing both need a GeForce RTX card to use, but neither tells you the floor for running the game without them.

If your PC can’t meet the bar: cloud gaming is one of Ananta’s confirmed platforms, which would bypass local hardware entirely. No service has been named yet — NVIDIA’s August 25 announcements covered Ananta’s RTX feature set, not GeForce NOW availability. That thread is tracked on What Platforms Is Ananta On.

Ananta PC System Requirements

These are the specs published on the publisher’s own TapTap store listing, last updated August 25, 2026. They are also the figures that have circulated since the Tokyo Game Show 2025 demo and the January 2026 Closed Beta Test — coverage in both English and Chinese has generally attributed that table to this listing rather than to any separate measurement, which is worth knowing before you treat two sources as two confirmations. A store listing for an unreleased game states an intention, not a benchmark result.

Minimum Specs

Recommended Specs

Note what the sheet does not say: neither column specifies SSD or HDD. The “SSD required” wording that appears alongside these specs elsewhere is not part of the listing.

A competing spec set is also circulating — an i7-10700 / RTX 3060 / 8 GB VRAM target with a 60 GB SSD requirement. It does not appear on any storefront the publisher controls and we have not found a first-party source for it, so it is not reflected in the tables above. Mobile device requirements and PS5 details remain unpublished.

Why is the minimum 40 GB but the recommended 100 GB?

This is the row people stop on, because storage usually isn’t tiered. A game takes the space it takes, and most spec sheets print the same figure twice. A 60 GB gap between the two columns is unusually wide — wider than the entire minimum install.

The publisher has not explained the split, so what follows is reasoning, not a stated fact. The ordinary reason a storefront prints two storage figures is that they answer two different questions. The minimum is the install floor: enough to run the game at the settings the rest of that column describes. The recommended figure is headroom: high-resolution texture data that only the recommended tier can actually make use of, plus room for a live-service game’s patches over its first year. Ananta streams a dense open city, which is exactly the shape of game where high-quality asset packs ship as optional downloads rather than inside the base install.

Practically: 40 GB free is what you need on install day. 100 GB is what you want to still have free a year in. Unverified community reports of the January 2026 closed beta build put its complete install at roughly 45 GB — consistent with a base install sitting just above the 40 GB floor — but that is a leaked pre-release number, not a published one, and it is not what either column above says.

If you are choosing a drive now, budget against the 100 GB figure rather than the 40 GB one. Unlike a CPU or a graphics card, storage is the one line on this sheet you can still fix cheaply after launch — but only if you left yourself the room.

Mobile Device Requirements (TBA — not officially confirmed)

No first-party mobile specs exist anywhere yet. The publisher’s TapTap listing — the one carrying the PC table above — has a Windows block and nothing else: no Android block, no iOS block. That is despite mobile being a confirmed Ananta platform. So the figures below are our estimates, based on beta footage quality and the game’s scale:

These are estimates only. We’ll update with confirmed device requirements when published.

Performance Tips to Expect at Launch

Based on how games like this typically ship:

Graphics settings you’ll likely be able to adjust:

• Overall quality preset (Low / Medium / High / Ultra)
• Shadow quality — one of the biggest performance gains when lowered
• Anti-aliasing (TAA / FXAA / Off)
• Draw distance — critical in an open city environment like Nova City
• Frame rate cap (30fps / 60fps / Uncapped)
• Motion blur toggle
• V-Sync toggle

Tips for lower-end PCs:

• Lowering shadow quality and draw distance typically provides the biggest FPS gains in open-world games without dramatically reducing visual quality.
• Use the game’s built-in frame rate limiter (30fps) for stable performance over an unlocked framerate that stutters.
• SSD storage is strongly recommended — open-world asset streaming causes significant stutters on HDDs.

For mobile:

• Close background apps before launching — live-service games benefit significantly from available RAM.
• Plug in while playing if possible; Ananta’s open world will drain battery faster than more contained game types.
• Expect a “reduce battery usage” setting that caps frame rate and lowers resolution.

What we’re watching, and where

Two first-party surfaces can move these numbers, and they are not the same surface:

• Steam’s TBD fields. Still empty as of August 27, 2026. When they fill in, that is the closest thing to a global launch requirement.
• The TapTap listing’s update timestamp. It moved to August 25, 2026 on announcement day, which is how we know the table above is currently maintained rather than left over from an old submission.

With launch set for January 15, 2027 there are roughly four months for both to change. We’ll update here when either does, along with mobile device requirements and PS5 detail.
