Steam, Plarium's game page and Plarium's support article all list 8 GB of RAM for RAID: Shadow Legends on PC. Steam and the game page also list 5 GB of free storage at the minimum and 8 GB at the recommended tier. The four official pages read for this article, all on November 4, 2026, differ on Mac, on the graphics line and on whether storage is listed at all. Nothing was benchmarked: this is a reading of published pages, not a test. GamiPrime's separate verdict, RAID: Shadow Legends Worth Playing in 2026, covers whether the game is worth your time.
What the official pages list, side by side
Windows PCs get the same RAM figure on every page that has a RAM line: 8 GB. The table shows each page as it was read on November 4, 2026. Where a page splits minimum and recommended, the cell shows both; the support article gives a single tier.
| Line | Steam listing | Plarium game page | Plarium support article | Plarium Play page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platforms listed | Windows | Windows and macOS | Windows and macOS | Windows and macOS |
| Windows | 10 21H1 or 11 21H2 (min.); 10 21H1 or newer (X64) or 11 21H2 or newer (Arm64) (rec.) | Same as Steam | 10 21H1 (build 19043) or newer; Windows 11 not named | 10 21H1 or newer |
| macOS | Not listed | Monterey 12 (min.); Monterey 12 or newer (rec.) | Monterey 12 or newer | Big Sur 11 or newer |
| Processor | x86, x64 with SSE2, Arm64 | Same Windows entries, plus Apple Silicon and x64 with SSE2 for Mac | Same Windows entries; Apple Silicon and x64 with SSE2 for Mac | Not listed |
| RAM | 8 GB / 8 GB | 8 GB / 8 GB | 8 GB | Not listed |
| Graphics | DirectX 11 / Vulkan-capable (min.); DirectX 11 or newer / Vulkan-capable (rec.) | Same, plus Metal-capable Intel and AMD GPUs for Mac | DX10, DX11, DX12 or Vulkan-capable; Metal-capable Intel and AMD GPUs for Mac | Not listed |
| Storage | 5 GB / 8 GB available | 5 GB / 8 GB | Not listed | Not listed |
Sources: the four pages above, each read November 4, 2026. The support article was edited July 29, 2026; the game page and launcher page show no date. The recommended tier is a publisher suggestion, not a measured result.
Where the pages stop agreeing
Three differences matter to a reader, and none is explained by Plarium.
- Mac. Steam lists Windows only. Plarium's game page and support article list macOS Monterey 12. The launcher page lists macOS Big Sur 11 or newer, a lower floor than the game's, for the launcher itself. A Mac owner finds a line only on Plarium's pages.
- Graphics. Steam and the game page say "DirectX 11 / Vulkan-capable GPUs". The support article says "DX10, DX11, DX12 or Vulkan-capable GPUs", which adds DirectX 10. The pages do not say which one prevails.
- Storage. Steam and the game page list 5 GB and 8 GB. The support article has no storage line, so a reader who stops there gets no space figure.
Steam and Plarium do not conflict on RAM or on the Windows 10 21H1 starting point. The gaps are in what each page includes.
What Arm64 means in RAID: Shadow Legends' listing
The listing names an architecture, not a chip, and no page says how the game behaves on it. Microsoft's Windows on Arm documentation (page metadata dated June 25, 2026) uses "Arm" for PCs that run Windows on Arm64 processors. It says Windows 10 runs unmodified x86 apps under emulation on those devices, Windows 11 adds unmodified x64 apps, and Arm apps run natively without emulation.
Steam lists "Arm64" in the processor line at both tiers, and its recommended OS line reads "Windows 11 21H2 or newer (Arm64)". Plarium's game page puts "Arm64 Apple Silicon" in a processor line that mixes Windows and Mac entries. None of the four pages says whether the game is a native Arm build or runs under emulation, and none names a Qualcomm chip.
That is different from other games in GamiPrime's free PC games requirements comparison: NTE: Neverness to Everness and Once Human name Snapdragon parts in their processor lines, RAID does not. Nothing was benchmarked, so this page makes no claim about speed or stability on an Arm laptop.
Why older figures online do not match
Three pages read the same day list lower or different numbers, and none names a source.
- A page carrying the line "Requirements updated: October 10, 2026" lists Windows 7 or better (64-bit), 4 GB of RAM, 5 GB of free space and an Intel HD 3000 graphics minimum.
- A second page, with no date, lists Windows 7 64-Bit, 4 GB of RAM at the minimum and 8 GB at the recommended tier, with 5 GB and 8 GB of file size.
- A third page, also undated, lists Windows 7, 8 and 10, 2 GB of RAM and 7 GB of storage.
The official pages read here list Windows 10 21H1 and 8 GB of RAM. GamiPrime cannot say where the older figures came from, and does not guess. A date on a page is not proof of a source.
Check your PC first
Five checks cover every line the official pages list.
- Windows version. Open Settings, System, About and read Windows specifications. The listed floor is version 21H1 or newer; only the support article adds build 19043.
- RAM. The same About page lists your RAM under Device specifications. Every page with a RAM line says 8 GB.
- Free space. Settings, System, Storage shows free space on each drive. Steam and the game page list 5 GB minimum and 8 GB recommended; no page read documents a margin beyond that.
- Graphics. Look up your graphics card model and compare it with the lines above. No page names a card, and none gives a Vulkan version.
- Processor type. Device specifications on the same About page lists your processor and whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit. The listing names x86, x64 and Arm64.
Bottom line by situation
- Windows PC with an Intel or AMD processor, 8 GB of RAM or more, 8 GB free. Every figure Steam and the game page list is covered. That is a floor, not a promise.
- Less than 8 GB of RAM. Plarium and Steam list no lower tier. The 4 GB and 2 GB figures elsewhere name no source.
- Mac or Arm laptop. The game page lists macOS Monterey 12, and Steam and the game page list Arm64. No page says native or emulated, and nothing was tested.
