The full published requirements, plus a check on the three things that give a straight answer: memory, operating system, and which Apple chip you have.

Your platform

Why this does not grade your graphics card. Ranking one GPU against another takes benchmark data, and the public comparison sites disagree with each other by wide margins. We found two putting the same pair of cards 25% and 44% apart. Rather than invent a number, we show you the cards the developers actually named, below.

Where to find your own specs

  • Windows: press Win + R, type dxdiag and press enter. The System tab lists your processor and memory; the Display tab lists your graphics card.
  • Mac: Apple menu → About This Mac. It names your chip and memory on the first screen.
  • Steam: Help → System Information, which reports all of it in one list.

One oddity worth knowing

The listed minimum processor, a Core i7-7700K or Ryzen 5 1600X, is a much stronger part than the listed minimum graphics card, a GTX 750 Ti. That is unusual, and it suggests the game leans on the processor more than on the GPU. We are reproducing the store page as published rather than second-guessing it, but if you are near the line, your processor is the part to look at first.

Common questions

How much RAM does Big Walk need?

The Steam store page lists 12 GB of RAM as the minimum on Windows and 16 GB as recommended. On Mac, 16 GB is listed for both minimum and recommended. A 12 GB minimum is higher than most indie games ask for, and it is the requirement that rules out the most machines.

Does Big Walk run on Apple silicon?

Yes. The Mac requirements list macOS 15 with an Apple M1 chip or newer as the minimum, and an M3 or newer as recommended, both with 16 GB of memory.

Does Big Walk run on Intel Macs?

The published Mac requirements name Apple M1 or newer. Intel Macs are not listed, so treat them as unsupported unless the developers say otherwise.

What graphics card do you need for Big Walk?

The listed minimum is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (2 GB), AMD Radeon R7 370 (2 GB) or Intel Arc A380 (6 GB). The recommended options are an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB), AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (8 GB) or Intel Arc A750 (8 GB). Steam lists no graphics requirement at all for Mac.
