System requirements

This page contains system requirements for the editor and exported projects. These specifications are given for informative purposes only, but they can be referred to if you're looking to build or upgrade a system to use Godot on.

Godot editor

These are the minimum specifications required to run the Godot editor and work on a simple 2D or 3D project:

Desktop or laptop PC - Minimum

CPU	Windows: x86_32 CPU with SSE2 instructions, x86_64 CPU, ARMv8 CPU Example: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200, AMD Athlon XE BE-2300, Snapdragon X Elite macOS: x86_64 or ARM CPU (Apple Silicon) Example: Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400, Apple M1 Linux: x86_32 CPU with SSE2 instructions, x86_64 CPU, ARMv7 or ARMv8 CPU Example: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200, AMD Athlon XE BE-2300, Raspberry Pi 4
GPU	Forward+ renderer: Integrated graphics with full Vulkan 1.0 support Example: Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell), AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (Kaveri) Mobile renderer: Integrated graphics with full Vulkan 1.0 support Example: Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell), AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (Kaveri) Compatibility renderer: Integrated graphics with full OpenGL 3.3 support Example: Intel HD Graphics 2500 (Ivy Bridge), AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (Kaveri)
RAM	Native editor: 4 GB Web editor: 8 GB
Storage	200 MB (used for the executable, project files and cache). Exporting projects requires downloading export templates separately (1.3 GB after installation).
Operating system	Native editor: Windows 7, macOS 10.13 (Compatibility) or macOS 10.15 (Forward+/Mobile), Linux distribution released after 2016 Web editor: Firefox 79, Chrome 68, Edge 79, Safari 15.2, Opera 64

Note

Windows 7/8/8.1 are supported on a best-effort basis. These versions are not regularly tested and some features may be missing (such as colored :ref:`print_rich <class_@GlobalScope_method_print_rich>` console output). Support for Windows 7/8/8.1 may be removed in a :ref:`future Godot 4.x release <doc_release_policy>`.

Vulkan drivers for these Windows versions are known to have issues with memory leaks. As a result, it's recommended to stick to the Compatibility renderer when running Godot on a Windows version older than 10.

RAM	Native editor: 3 GB Web editor: 6 GB
Storage	200 MB (used for the executable, project files and cache) Exporting projects requires downloading export templates separately (1.3 GB after installation)
Operating system	Native editor: Android 6.0 (Compatibility) or Android 9.0 (Forward+/Mobile) Web editor: Firefox 79, Chrome 88, Edge 79, Safari 15.2, Opera 64, Samsung Internet 15

Exported Godot project

Warning

The requirements below are a baseline for a simple 2D or 3D project, with basic scripting and few visual flourishes. CPU, GPU, RAM and storage requirements will heavily vary depending on your project's scope, its renderer, viewport resolution and graphics settings chosen. Other programs running on the system while the project is running will also compete for resources, including RAM and video RAM.

It is strongly recommended to do your own testing on low-end hardware to make sure your project runs at the desired speed. To provide scalability for low-end hardware, you will also need to introduce a graphics options menu to your project.

These are the minimum specifications required to run a simple 2D or 3D project exported with Godot:

Note

Godot doesn't use OpenGL/OpenGL ES extensions introduced after OpenGL 3.3/OpenGL ES 3.0, but GPUs supporting newer OpenGL/OpenGL ES versions generally have fewer driver issues.
