Corsair Cove System Requirements (PC)
Corsair Cove is a full-size city builder — 30 GB and DirectX 12. Here are the official specs from the Steam store page.
Minimum requirements
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) |
|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core i7-7700 (quad-core) / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (hexa-core) |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |

| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 30 GB available space |
| Additional | SSD recommended |
Recommended requirements
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) |
|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core i5-9600K (hexa-core) / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (hexa-core) |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (8 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (8 GB) |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 30 GB available space |
| Additional | SSD recommended |
The gap between minimum and recommended is real: 8 GB → 16 GB RAM and a 1660 Super → RTX 2070. City builders get CPU-heavy late game (thousands of pirates, long production chains), so the recommended hexa-core CPUs are worth respecting. The SSD recommendation is unusually strong — 30 GB of streaming assets will load painfully from a hard drive.
