Direct answer
Windows 10, a GTX 1070-class GPU and 8 GB RAM
Over the Hill is a Windows PC game on Steam, launching October 14, 2026. The minimum requirements on Steam are a 64-bit Windows 10 system with an Intel Core i5-7400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 8 GB of RAM, an Nvidia GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5600, DirectX 11, a broadband internet connection and 4 GB of storage, tested at 1080p. No recommended specs are listed yet.
Mac is not planned for the initial release. Steam added a SteamOS + Linux requirements tab in October 2026, although the official FAQ still says a native Linux version is not planned and points Steam Deck players to Proton. Funselektor also says performance has improved since the June 2026 demo.
Minimum system requirements
These are the only specs Funselektor has published. The recommended section on Steam only repeats the 64-bit requirement, so there is no official target yet for higher resolutions or frame rates.
One line changed in the run-up to launch. The AMD card read Vega 56 when this page was first written on September 22, 2026, and Radeon RX 5600 by October 3, 2026. The Nvidia card and every other line stayed the same.
| Component | Minimum |

| Operating system | Windows 10, 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-7400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Nvidia GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 |
| DirectX | Version 11 |
| Network | Broadband internet connection |
| Storage | 4 GB available space |
| Tested at | 1080p (Full HD) |
What Funselektor says about performance
On September 30, 2026, a player on the Steam forum called the GTX 1070 minimum a sign of poor optimisation for a game with such a simple look. A Funselektor developer replied on October 2, 2026, adding that the team would welcome feedback after release, once everyone has had a chance to try the game.
The reply gives the team’s reasoning and intent, with no frame rates, settings or revised specs. Its main points:
- The simple textures are an art direction choice, not a measure of what the game renders.
- It still draws a lot of vegetation far into the distance, along with shadows, effects and processing, which cost as much as in any other 3D game.
- Performance has “significantly improved across the board” since the June 2026 demo.
- Optimisation is still in progress and will continue after launch.
- The team has the Steam Deck in mind, a machine the developer called many times less powerful than a GTX 1070.
Graphics options seen in the demo
PCGamingWiki, a community wiki, recorded the PC options from the June 2026 demo. Treat these as community evidence from a pre-release build that may change.
- Ultrawide 21:9 support
- DLSS 4 and FSR 3 upscaling
- Frame-rate caps from 30 to 240 FPS
- Separate volume sliders for master, engine, sound effects, interface, music and ambience
- Unity 6 engine, based on the demo executable
Steam Deck and Linux
The official FAQ, last edited on September 17, 2026, says a native Linux version is not planned, but that Funselektor is committed to making Over the Hill run smoothly on the Steam Deck via Proton. The Steam page’s full controller support and gamepad recommendation suit the Deck’s built-in controls.
The store listing has since moved ahead of that answer. When checked on October 6, 2026, its system requirements had a SteamOS + Linux tab with the same processor, memory, graphics card and storage as Windows. Funselektor has not announced a native Linux build, and its October playtest form describes a Windows build tested on SteamOS and Ubuntu through Proton, so Proton remains the safer assumption.
Steam Deck performance so far
It is unproven. In an August 2026 Steam thread, a player passed on reports that the demo ran poorly on the Deck; a developer replied that most of the demo’s issues were already fixed and that Funselektor plans to support the Deck. The October 2026 playtest form goes further and recommends a Steam Deck or better hardware for a smooth experience.
Valve had not given the game a Steam Deck compatibility rating when this page was checked on October 6, 2026, so there is no Verified or Playable badge to go on yet.
Is Over the Hill on Mac?
Not at launch. The FAQ says Mac support is not planned for the initial release, though Funselektor may consider it in the future, and the Steam listing has no macOS requirements. That differs from art of rally, which does list macOS on Steam, so a later Mac version is possible but unannounced. The October 2026 playtest form says testers may try the Windows build through CrossOver on macOS, without support from the team.
Controllers, keyboard and racing wheels
Steam lists full controller support, DualShock and DualSense support, and marks the game as gamepad recommended. Keyboard play is supported too: the FAQ says Funselektor is prioritising gamepad and keyboard, which is why racing wheels with force feedback are not planned for the initial release.
Other PC stores
Steam is the only confirmed PC store for now; the FAQ says Funselektor is considering GOG and Epic. The Microsoft Store listing for the Xbox version also lists PC and shows an Xbox Play Anywhere label, but Funselektor has not explained how that will work.
Questions players also ask
Can a laptop run Over the Hill?
Compare it with the minimum specs: a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 5600-class GPU, an i5-7400 or Ryzen 5 2600 and 8 GB of RAM at 1080p. Most integrated graphics fall below that bar, and Funselektor has published no results for hardware under the minimum.
Will the minimum requirements drop before launch?
Funselektor has not said so. The October 2, 2026 developer reply promises more optimisation, but the Steam listing still showed a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 5600 as the minimum on October 6, 2026.
How much storage does it need?
Steam lists 4 GB of available space. PCGamingWiki recorded 2 GB for the demo, but the 4 GB figure is the official requirement for the full game.
Does Over the Hill need an internet connection?
Steam lists a broadband connection in the minimum requirements. During the demo, a hotfix stopped single player freezing when the game was launched without internet, which suggests offline solo play is intended, but Funselektor has not stated an official offline policy.
