World of Warcraft: Shadowlands System Requirements

The WOW Shadowlands system requirements suggest a minimum CPU equivalent to an i5-3450, but Blizzard recommend an Intel Core i7-6700K to play the game at its best. The cheapest graphics card you can play it on is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760. Futhermore, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is recommended in order to run World of Warcraft: Shadowlands with the highest settings. The World of Warcraft Shadowlands system requirements suggest a minimum of 4 GB of RAM, but ideally have 8GB of RAM. You will need at least 100 GB free storage space to install World of Warcraft Shadowlands.

Unlike the base World of Warcraft game, the system requirements are much higher, so keep this in mind - your PC that runs standard WoW may not be able to run this.

World of Warcraft Shadowlands SSD

Initially Blizzard stated that an SSD would be required to run the expansion pack. However, this has now been back-tracked - the Shadowlands minimum requirements only need a hard drive, however Blizzard still recommend downloading the game onto an SSD for improved performance.
