For DreamWorks Shrek 2 Remastered on Steam, check for 64-bit Windows 11, at least 8 GB of RAM and 15 GB of free space. Epic Games Store lists 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 at minimum, with 16 GB of RAM and 12 GB of storage. Use the column for the store you plan to play through. These are the published requirements for the 10 November 2026 PC launch, checked on 11 November.

On Windows 10, use the Epic column as your first check. Compare the processor, graphics card and memory together before you decide. For example, a PC with a GTX 1060 and 8 GB of RAM matches those two Steam minimums, but falls below both entries on Epic. If you're buying specifically for a Windows 10 machine and need confirmation for your setup, give Aspyr Support the storefront and your hardware details.

On Steam, the recommended spec raises the memory to 16 GB and the graphics card to a GTX 1070 or RX 5700. The recommended processor is a Core i5-10400 or Ryzen 5 3600X. Keep 15 GB free on your install drive. Aspyr Support lists 6-8 GB of video memory for its recommended graphics tier, and Steam lists broadband under its recommended network specification.

On Epic, the recommended spec calls for Windows 11, 32 GB of RAM, a Core i7-13700K or Ryzen 5 7600X and an RTX 5070 or RX 9070. Epic lists 12 GB of storage for both tiers and a gamepad under additional input devices at minimum. If you plan to play with friends once you're set up, check how local and online co-op can work together.

Find the specs on your PC

Open Settings, then System and About. Under Windows specifications, check which version of Windows you're running. Under Device specifications, compare the processor, installed RAM and system type with the table. Check the full processor model. An Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 label alone can refer to several generations, including chips older than those in the minimum column.

Search for dxdiag on the Windows taskbar and open it. In the System tab, look under System Information for the DirectX Version. Compare your graphics card separately with the table, since the DirectX version tells you which version Windows has installed. In Settings, go to System and Storage to check free space. If you use a separate games drive, look under Advanced storage settings and Storage used on other drives for that drive's available space.
