Summary:
- 2XKO, Riot Games’ new 2v2 fighting game will be able to run on older PCs with a minimum of i7-4790 CPU, GTX 960 GPU, 8GB RAM, and 20GB storage.
- Recommended setups (like a GTX 1060 and SSD) give smoother gameplay and faster load times.
- If your PC already runs League of Legends or VALORANT without issues, it should also handle 2XKO just fine.
Riot Games is bringing out a brand-new fighting game called 2XKO, and it’s almost here. It’s a fast-paced 2v2 brawler set in the League of Legends universe, and many fans are already eager to test their skills. But before you jump into playtesting or early access, you’ll need to make sure your PC can actually run it. Let’s go through the official 2XKO minimum specs and system requirements to run the game smoothly.
2XKO Minimum Specs
Riot has released the minimum requirements needed to launch the game on PC:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
- Graphics Card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
- RAM: 8GB
- Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
- Storage Space: Around 20GB free
So, if you have an older gaming PC from the last 8–10 years, you should still be able to run 2XKO without problems. The GTX 960 is not a very powerful card by today’s standards, but Riot is making sure the game is lightweight so most players can play it smoothly.
Recommended Specs
While Riot hasn’t given the official “recommended specs” yet, PC experts have made some solid guesses. To get smoother frame rates and fewer slowdowns, aim for:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 or newer
- Graphics Card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or better
- RAM: At least 8GB
- Storage: SSD (Solid State Drive) for faster loading
This kind of setup will give you a much better experience, especially if you want to play competitively or stream your matches. If you’re still unsure, it could also be helpful to know that Riot Games keeps their games pretty accessible. You can reliably run 2XKO on a PC that already handles League of Legends or VALORANT smoothly.
Why Specs Matter in Fighting Games
Unlike some slower-paced games, fighting games demand quick reactions. Even small delays in frame rate or lag can cost you a match. That’s why Riot kept the 2XKO minimum specs low—to allow as many players as possible to enjoy smooth gameplay.
If your system only meets the minimum requirements, the game will run but might not feel as sharp. Hitting the recommended specs will help you:
- React faster with higher frame rates
- Keep animations smooth during intense fights
- Stream or record without your system slowing down
The game will need around 20GB of space. Compared to many modern PC games that can take 80–100GB or more, 2XKO is small and efficient. Installing it on an SSD (instead of an older hard drive) will cut down loading times and make the game feel much smoother.
What About Consoles?
If you don’t want to play on PC, you’re in luck—2XKO is also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, it won’t be available on older consoles like PS4 or Xbox One. On consoles, you don’t need to worry about specs since the game is optimized for the hardware.
Conclusion
The good news is that 2XKO minimum specs are very accessible, so you don’t need a powerful gaming PC to enjoy the game. But if you want the best performance—especially for competitive play—it’s worth aiming for a GTX 1060 or better and running the game on an SSD. Check your setup, free up some storage, and get ready—the fight is almost here.
