Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy Guide

Dark Heresy system requirements

Updated · Start here

Quick answer

The Steam page lists recommended specs only: Windows 10, Intel Core i5-12600 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 16 GB RAM, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or Radeon RX 6700 XT, DirectX 12 and 40 GB of storage. Owlcat has not published a minimum-spec tier, a Steam Deck rating or console performance targets yet.

Dark Heresy PC requirements

Owlcat has only published one tier of PC specs so far. The Steam page lists recommended hardware, not a minimum tier.

Official PC requirements (Steam)

Recommended
OS Windows 10
CPU Intel Core i5-12600 / AMD Ryzen 5 5600
RAM 16 GB
GPU GeForce RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6700 XT
DirectX Version 12
Storage 40 GB available space

That is the full published spec sheet as of November 11, 2026. There is no official minimum tier, so do not trust sites that publish a “minimum” list before Owlcat does.

Without a minimum tier, the safe reading is:

We will update this page when Owlcat publishes minimum specs or a Steam Deck rating.

FAQ

What are the minimum requirements for Dark Heresy?

Not published. Steam currently shows only a recommended tier, so there is no official minimum-spec baseline yet.

How much storage does Dark Heresy need?

40 GB of available space, per the Steam recommended specs.

Will Dark Heresy run on Steam Deck?

Unknown. Valve has not assigned a Steam Deck rating, and Owlcat has not commented. The recommended GPU is above Steam Deck class, so expect a lower-preset experience if it is verified.

Does it support controllers?

Steam lists DualShock controller support and partial controller support. Full controller parity is not confirmed.
