Empire of the Ants is a photorealistic ant simulator with tactical insect engagements and colony building. Despite the incredible graphics fidelity demonstrated in gameplay trailers, the Empire of the Ants PC requirements are nowhere near as demanding as one might expect. In fact, getting into the game on the minimum specs is pretty easy, even for older laptops.

To play on the Empire of the Ants minimum requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card, an Intel Core i5-9400 processor, and 8GB of RAM. This is more than enough to get you up and running, but you won't be able to enjoy the highest graphics preset with this level of hardware.
