Game Pass System Requirements

Microsoft give system requirements for Game Pass - meeting these should allow you to reliably run all the games available on the service. A minimum of 8 GB of RAM is asked for, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card. Microsoft also say you should have at least 150 GB to have room to download the games available - of course, if you downloaded every single game pass game it would be much higher than this! The minimum CPU is an Intel Core i5-8300H.

However if you want the games to be looking at their best here is the best setup to go with game pass - 16 GB of RAM, and at least 300 GB free storage space. You'll want an Intel Core i7-8700K or equivalent, and a graphics card such as an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070.

Game Pass will run on PC system with Windows 10 and upwards.
