Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV System Requirements Revealed

KING Art Games and Deep Silver have published the PC system requirements for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV. You’ll need a GeForce GTX 1660 to play on minimum settings, while the recommended specs call for an RTX 3060 Ti and 32GB of RAM.

• OS: Windows 11
• CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 (6GB VRAM or more)
• RAM: 16GB
• Storage: 125GB SSD

• OS: Windows 11
• CPU: Intel Core i7-12700 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 9060 (8GB VRAM or more)
• RAM: 32GB
• Storage: 125GB NVMe SSD

Overall, the requirements look reasonable for a modern game. With a GTX 1660 as the minimum, the strategy game should run even on fairly old PCs. The minimum CPU pairing is a bit odd, though: the Intel Core i5-10600K is much more powerful than the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X listed next to it. The 32GB of RAM in the recommended specs and the 125GB install size raise the most questions, especially since an SSD is required even for minimum settings. It’s also worth noting that Windows 11 is the only supported operating system.

If your PC doesn’t meet these requirements, there’s another option. The developers have confirmed that Dawn of War IV will be available on NVIDIA GeForce NOW at launch. The cloud gaming service lets you stream the game from NVIDIA’s servers, so you can play even on a weak laptop or an older PC, as long as you have a stable internet connection.

Dawn of War IV continues the cult real-time strategy series set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It’s being developed by German studio KING Art Games, best known for Iron Harvest. The game takes place on the planet Kronus, which fans will remember from Dark Crusade. It features four factions and several non-linear story campaigns, and multiplayer includes Last Stand and Skirmish modes.

The game was originally set to launch on September 17, but in August the developers pushed it to December 3, 2026, to spend more time on optimization and bug fixing. Commander Edition owners get access three days early, starting November 30. In the first year after launch, the developers promise free updates, including the return of Crusade mode, new maps, and a mission editor, plus two major story expansions, one of which will add a new playable faction.
