RAID: Shadow Legends PC requirements and first-run checklist

Requirements shown on Steam

Steam currently lists 64-bit Windows 10 version 21H1 or Windows 11 version 21H2 as the minimum operating systems. It names an x86/x64 processor with SSE2 support or Arm64, 8 GB RAM, a DirectX 11- or Vulkan-capable GPU, DirectX 11, and 5 GB of available storage. The recommended listing keeps the 8 GB memory and processor-family notes, asks for Windows 10 21H1 or later for x64 or Windows 11 21H2 or later for Arm64, and lists 8 GB storage. Steam's specification does not name a particular graphics card. These details can change, so check the store page before installation.

Platform note

The supplied project label WIN ONLY is preserved. Plarium's current official game page also lists macOS Monterey 12 and Apple Silicon support, and Plarium states that RAID is available on Mac through its Plarium Play launcher. Steam's requirements above describe the Steam route; they do not cover the separate Mac launcher. The supplied label is therefore narrower than Plarium's stated desktop support and should be reconciled before this guide is presented as a complete platform listing.

The difference between 5 GB minimum and 8 GB recommended storage is a planning cue, not a guarantee that future updates will fit in a fixed amount of free space. Leave extra room for updates and temporary files. Do not substitute requirements from the mobile app or an emulator for the Steam PC listing.

Safe first run

Install through the official Steam page, let the client finish updating, and then sign in through the game's supported account flow. Review the store disclosure and account controls before a younger player uses the PC: the page identifies in-game purchases and chance-based purchases. That disclosure explains purchase types; it does not by itself judge whether spending is appropriate or how much progression costs.

If the client fails to launch, first record the exact Windows version, CPU architecture, graphics API/driver, Steam version, available storage, and error message. If performance is poor, compare the same encounter and settings after making one change. The requirements list does not support a specific graphics preset or frame-rate promise, and this article contains no hands-on benchmark.

What remains to test

No real-world performance, install-size growth, or account-recovery test is included. Those claims need a reproducible test and current build. The project platform label WIN ONLY is kept unchanged.
