Rocket League System Requirements

The Rocket League system requirements are pretty undemanding, with the minimum specs recommending hardware over 12 years old. Any modern PC or laptop will have no problem running Rocket League, even low-end ones if you turn the graphics down. You will need a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Core 2 Duo E4600, whereas an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 is recommended in order to run it at its best. Provided that you have at least an ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card you can play the game - this card is over 12 years old, giving you an idea of how easily the game will run on low-end hardware. However an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 is recommended in order to run the game at the highest settings. Rocket League PC Specs state that you will need at least 2 GB of RAM. If possible, make sure you have 4 GB of RAM in order to run Rocket League to its full potential. You will need at least 7 GB of free disk space to install Rocket League.

Despite being playable on low-end hardware, crank the settings up and Rocket League graphics are still impressive.
