About Unity
Unity’s editor requirements are modest compared with Unreal, but build times and asset importing benefit heavily from many CPU cores and fast storage.

- Graphics card
- DX12-capable GPU with 6 GB VRAM or more
- Processor
- Multi-core X64 processor
- Memory
- 16 GB RAM
- Storage
- 100 GB
- Operating system
- Windows 10 64-bit or later
Not sure how your parts compare? Run the check above or read what these tiers mean.
Can my laptop run Unity?
The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the DX12-capable GPU with 6 GB VRAM named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
