Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor System Requirements

Any modern Windows 10 or 11 PC can run the re-released Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. The official Steam page lists a 1.8 GHz processor, 4 GB of RAM and just 4 GB of free storage as the Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor system requirements minimum, checked 2026-11-07. SNEG, the re-release publisher, states the game "runs smoothly on modern hardware."

In practice, if your machine handles Windows 10 or 11 itself, it will handle this game.

Full requirements on Steam

The official Steam store page lists these minimums for the Windows version:

The recommended section adds only one line — the same 64-bit processor and operating system requirement — so there is no higher spec tier to worry about. These specs apply to the new digital re-release released on November 6, 2026, which adds widescreen and 4K support on top of the 2001 original.

If you are looking at the old 2001 retail disc, its stated requirements were a Pentium II 233 with 64 MB RAM, but the Steam version's specs are what matter for a digital purchase today.

What to check before buying

• You are on Windows 10 or 11 — Steam lists Windows only; as of 2026-11-07 the official Steam page lists no macOS or Linux version.
• You have 4 GB of free storage and 4 GB of RAM — both are trivially met by almost any modern PC.
• Your graphics driver supports DirectX 11 — any card from the last decade does.
• Steam Deck compatibility is shown as "Unknown" on the store page, so handheld play is not confirmed either way.

FAQ

What are the system requirements for the re-release?

Minimum: Windows 10/11 (64-bit), 1.8 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics, DirectX 11, 4 GB storage and a DirectX compatible sound card. The recommended list only repeats the 64-bit requirement.

Can I run it on Steam Deck?

Yes. SNEG released a free demo on Steam that contains the first location, and demo progress carries over to the full game if you buy it.
