Common questions
What are the minimum requirements for Firewatch?
Intel Core i3 2.00 GHz or AMD equivalent or equivalent, NVIDIA GeForce 450 or higher with 1GB Memory, 6 GB of RAM and 4 GB of free space on Windows 7 or higher 64bit.
How do I check whether my PC can run Firewatch?
Use the check on this page. It reads your graphics card, CPU threads and memory from the browser and shows the preset, resolution and expected frame rate — no download and no sign-up.
What frame rate should I aim for in Firewatch?
60 fps at your monitor's native resolution. Lower the preset first — running below native resolution is more noticeable than reduced shadows.
