Storage note
Storage size is not listed on Steam at the time of writing. Check the Steam page before purchase. An SSD may improve loading comfort, but Steam does not list it as a requirement.
Can my PC run it?
If you have a GTX 1060 6GB or better with 16GB RAM, you meet minimum requirements. For smooth gameplay at higher settings, aim for GTX 2070 or equivalent. The game is story-heavy, so CPU and RAM matter more than GPU for most scenes.
Display and input notes
Because Zero Parades is reading-heavy, a comfortable display and input setup matter. 1080p is sufficient; 4K is unnecessary. Mouse and keyboard are ideal for menu navigation; controller support should be checked on Steam.
Patch changes
Performance and compatibility may improve after launch. Re-check recent Steam reviews if you are on older hardware. ZA/UM has a history of post-launch polish.
Common Mistakes
- Trusting outdated spec screenshots.
- Ignoring text comfort.
- Assuming Steam Deck status equals desktop performance.
- Buying on unsupported OS without checking.
