Last Epoch on PC: hardware guide and performance
Last Epoch (Eleventh Hour Games, [Steam 899770](https://store.steampowered.com/app/899770/Last_Epoch/)) is the time-travel indie ARPG: crafting, skill trees, and monolith endgame — 1.0 in 2024 after early access. On Newegg, Amazon.com and Instant Gaming, the 2026 angle is no longer “a GTX 760 will do”: Steam raised the system paper.
Live Steam paper (store API) — copy this: Minimum — Windows 10, CPU Intel Core i5-2500 / AMD FX-4350, 8 GB RAM, GPU GeForce GTX 1060 / Radeon RX 580 (6 GB VRAM), DirectX 11, broadband, 22 GB, SSD strongly recommended. Recommended — same OS, i5-6500 / Ryzen 3 1200, 16 GB, RTX 3060 / RX 6600 XT (6 GB+), DX11, broadband, 22 GB, SSD. Charts that still paste GTX 760 / R7 260X / FX-6350 / 20 GB are citing a legacy listing — don’t treat that as live store truth.
Farming comfort (PC4Games): 1080p high in campaign / monoliths → RTX 3060 / RX 6600 (already Steam’s recommended tier), 16 GB dual-channel, game on SSD — about $550–$875. 1440p → RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT — $875–$1,100. You don’t need an RTX 4070 to farm; stutters usually come from dense packs + 8 GB + HDD.
Offline: solo offline campaign exists — no always-on connection. Multiplayer and some online features do need net. Still budget for the broadband Steam lists for the client / patches.
Upgrade order: SSD (Steam calls it out) → 16 GB → GPU if you’re still under a GTX 1060 → CPU only if the box is ancient.
