StarCraft 2 System Requirements

This article is over 14 years old and may contain outdated information

The System Requirements for StarCraft II are again visible on Blizzard’s support pages, and they look real this time.

While the leaked System Requirements from a few weeks ago were just a copy paste job from Wrath of the Lich King for the support pages, these look more in tune with what our technical experts have been talking about. The information can either be leaked, or just put live for the imminent beta test.

It’s not as generous as the original stats, but those would never have been able to play anyway.

There are more leaks. On the Russian forums, there has also been a leak of instructions for how to download the StarCraft 2 beta client.

The minimum system requirements for the Starcraft II Beta are as follows:

PC Minimum Requirements:
• Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
• 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
• 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
• 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
• 1024×768 minimum display resolution
• 4 GB free hard space (Beta)
• Broadband connection

*Note* the final requirements for Starcraft II have not yet been determined. Due to ongoing development the minimum requirements listed above are subject to change at any time. During this phase a Mac version will NOT be available, please check back.

Please check our StarCraft channel for more information. This is particularly interesting as the last time, Blizzard said the real system specs would come with beta.
