How CanMyPcPlay works

Three steps, and one principle: we would rather show a gap than fill it with a guess.

  1. 01

    Tell us your PC once

    Pick your CPU, GPU, memory and operating system from our hardware database. Details stay in your browser unless you choose to sign in.

  2. 02

    We compare against published specs

    Every requirement is transcribed from the publisher or vendor, with the source recorded. Nothing is marked verified until it has been checked field-by-field against that source.

  3. 03

    You get a component-level answer

    Not just yes or no — which component is the limit, how confident we are, and what would actually help if you upgraded.

Frequently asked questions

What is CanMyPcPlay?
A free PC compatibility checker. Enter your processor, graphics card, memory and operating system once, and every game and application page will tell you whether your machine clears the published requirements — and which component is holding you back if it does not.
What games can my PC run?
Enter your hardware and we will check it against the whole games catalogue at once, ranked by how comfortably your PC handles each title. There is a dedicated page for this if you want to sweep everything in one go.
How do I check my PC specs?
On Windows, press Windows + R, type dxdiag and press Enter. The System tab names your processor and total memory; the Display tab names your graphics card and its video memory. No download is needed.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
Free, and no account is required. Your specifications are saved in your own browser. Creating an account only adds syncing between devices and saved lists.
