Gearbox Software and Blackbird Interactivesharedthe Windows PC requirements for their upcoming strategy titleHomeworld 3. There’s a wide range of supported hardware, with higher-end options that require more recent tech, as well as lower-end settings more reasonable for weaker hardware.
Notably, Homeworld 3 supports ray tracing on the appropriate graphics cards, as well as supporting HDR and DLSS 3. Homeworld 3 also supports Intel Arc graphics cards, which are becoming more popular but have suffered from spotty driver support in some games. You can find the different tiers detailed below:
Homeworld 3 PC requirements: Minimum specs
According to the blog post, this hardware should run Homeworld 3 at 1080p at the “Low” preset options for all settings. This is likely the preset you’ll run the game at if you don’t have one of thebest graphics cardsof the last few years.
Homeworld 3 PC requirements: Recommended specs
The recommended tier bumps up the graphics card and RAM requirements, and should allow players to go through Homeworld 3 at 1080p with settings at Medium.
Homeworld 3 PC requirements: High specs
Meeting the High specs should allow players to go through Homeworld 3 with the High preset settings while opting for a resolution of 1440p.
Homeworld 3 PC requirements: Ultra specs
Meeting the Ultra requirements finally means being able to run the game at 4K resolution. Naturally, you’ll also be able to use the Ultra settings options.

Into the void
Naturally, there’s a lot of variety and your setup may not neatly match one or the other of these tiers. You can turn settings down to free up room for turning others up, and playing at a lower resolution than 4K will give you more technical bandwidth.
After multiple delays, Homeworld 3 is set to launch on March 8, 2024, with early access kicking off on March 5 for anyone that preorders the Fleet Command or Collector’s Edition of the game.
Homeworld 3’s story is set a hundred years after Homeworld 2, but frommy interview with some of the Homeworld 3 writing team, players can expect the events of past games to be carefully examined in this long-awaited sequel.
