Each and every person’s experience with Palworld will be different depending on the gaming laptop or desktop that they are using. Since Palworld doesn’t have the most intense PC system requirements, it far more likely that your computer will be able to run it smoothly.

At a minimum, you just need to make sure you have the 64-Bit version of Windows 10 or 11 with an Intel i5-3570K processor or equivalent with a GeForce GTX 1050 (or equivalent). Even the amount of storage necessary isn’t that much. You just need 16GB of RAM with at least 40GB of space available for the game.

If for some reason Palworld isn’t running all that well then diving into your graphics settings and lowering a few categories should help. However, if you lower settings and the game still isn’t running as smoothly as you’d like, then you might need to turn off other programs, clean up space on your hard drive, or check your internet connection.
