Age of Mythology: Retold is a remaster of the classic RTS title from World’s Ege and Forgotten Empires. This new version retains the core experience while upgrading the visuals and animations and adding new features like increased population limit, ray-tracing, and improved online experience. Though, what kind of rig do you need to play this? Here are the official Age of Mythology: Retold system requirements to prepare you for the remaster.
Age of Mythology: Retold System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 – 64-Bit | Windows 10 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | Intel® i3-4130 or AMD FX 4350 at 2.4GHZ+ with 2 cores / 4 threads and AVX support | 3.6 Ghz i5 or greater or AMD equivalent and AVX support |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB RAM |
| GPU | NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 645 AMD Radeon™ Vega 8 Intel® Iris Graphics 550 or better | Nvidia® GeForce® GTX 970 AMD Radeon™ RX 570 or better |
| DirectX 12 | Version 12 | Version 12 |
The developers haven’t shared the target resolution or framerate here, but it’s safe to say these requirements don’t have ray tracing in mind. For now, if you’re looking to play at higher settings, you’ll need a GTX 970 paired with a generic i5 CPU with a 3.6 GHz clock speed.
Based on these, it doesn’t look like you need much to run the remaster, but we’ll have to see what kind of GPU you’ll need at launch to support ray tracing. Apart from that, you need 16 GB of RAM to play the title. On the lower side, even an ancient GTX 645 should be enough for some form of experience.
Age of Mythology: Retold is coming to PC and Xbox Series S|X on September 4, 2024. The standard edition will be available on day one on Game Pass for PC and consoles.
If you’re fine with spending some extra bucks, you can actually play the upcoming remaster a bit early.
