Steam Deck and consoles

Gamepur’s 1 Nov 2026 table matches the Steam rows, including 10 GB and the RX 5600X. I use that as a second reading of the Steam page, not as a new spec.

Xbox Series X|S targets 60 fps according to the developer FAQ and the store’s “60 fps+” line. That is a target, not a measured chart from this site.

FAQ

How big is GRAVHOUNDS?

Steam lists 10 GB of available disk space for both minimum and recommended requirements, corroborated by Gamepur. That requirement is not a download measurement or a guaranteed installed size.

Does it need DirectX 12?

Yes. Steam lists DirectX 12. The Xbox page adds Feature Level 11 on minimum and Feature Level 12 on recommended, plus 6 GB or 12 GB of VRAM.

Will it run on Steam Deck?

Not as a native build. The FAQ says the Deck compatibility layer can run it. Steam’s Deck category is still unrated. See platforms.

Why is the frame rate low?

The launch post lists heavy combat, large waves, and lots of structures as a known hitch. Fixes are on troubleshooting. No official fps-per-preset table exists.
