Minimum spec is a Steam Deck so you can put down the pitchforks.

  It's incomprehensible how much more excellent and accessible gaming is with food scaling tech like FSR and XeSS. I long resisted, but after my old GPU put up a terrible showing (on WH40K Darktide) I gave it a go and became a convert. Steam Deck sets such an excellently low target for games, that they have to make possible, but it also does it at such a perfectly not-excessive resolution. So games need to target this pretty modest system, at modest resolution. Beyond performance, it also encourages games to be considerate for low res gamers, fitting the elements on the screen and making everything readable & usable. It's amazing to me that info dense games like Last Spell (what an excellent squad town defender) have gotten ported & play well! Deck has brought about such a fantastic renormalization of what PC games need to be able to do.

  This is talking about recommended specs. I'm sure you can play it on a toaster but if it's anything like its predecessors, large map, late-game AI moves are going to bog right down. I've upgraded my PC mid-game just because it was taking five minutes between moves. Which is all to say, playing on a Deck will limit your game choices.

    Other Civ's did AI on a single core. It sounds like they've properly threaded it, so even an anemic 4 core machine might do better with Civ7 than Civ6. But as they say, what Moore giveth, he taketh away, so it's also likely they've eaten that 4X win elsewhere...
