Tales of Eternia returns on PC as a remaster, and the good news for anyone with an older rig is that the hardware bar is very low. Bandai Namco and developer TOSE list the same modest specs for both tiers, so here is what you need before launch week.
Minimum Requirements
- OS: Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti (1 GB), AMD Radeon HD 7770 (2 GB) or Intel Arc A310 (4 GB)
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 8 GB available space
The Steam page estimates 1080p at 60 fps on Low settings, with possible frame drops in graphics-heavy scenes.
Recommended Requirements
- OS: Windows 11 (64-bit). Windows 10 version 1809 or later also works, since DirectX 12 is the real requirement.
- Processor: Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti (1 GB), AMD Radeon HD 7770 (2 GB) or Intel Arc A310 (4 GB), with a 4 GB VRAM card needed for DirectX 12
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 8 GB available space
The hardware list is identical to the minimum. The difference is the target: 1080p at 60 fps on High settings.
What to Expect at Each Tier
On a budget laptop or an old office PC, expect Low settings at 1080p and a mostly stable 60 fps. Anything built in the last five or six years should reach High without trouble, because the game is an upgraded version of a PlayStation-era JRPG rather than a modern showcase. Do check the Windows part: some older GPUs listed here only reach DirectX 12 on Windows 10 1809 or newer, so a fully updated system matters more than raw power. Valve has also marked the game Steam Deck Verified, so handheld play is an option too.
Release Date, Platforms and Price
The Steam listing shows October 15, 2026, while Bandai Namco announcements and several outlets say October 16, most likely a time zone difference between regions. It also launches on PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch and Switch 2. At the time of writing the Steam page did not show a confirmed price, so check the store before you plan a purchase. The game ships with English text, and English and Japanese have full audio support.
Should You Wait for Reviews?
If you grew up with the original, a remaster with these specs is a low-risk pick. If you are new to the Tales series, it is an older-style JRPG with a simple presentation, so reading a few launch-week impressions before buying is reasonable.
