over the hill system requirements call for Windows 10 (64-bit), an Intel Core i5-7400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 with DirectX 11. The Steam store lists 4 GB of storage while PCGamingWiki and PCGameBenchmark record 2 GB; the Steam store figure is authoritative. Recommended specs beyond the Steam minimum have Not announced as of 2026-07-25.
Minimum over the hill system requirements
The minimum tier below is reproduced from the Steam store page for over the hill (Steam AppID 2929250, Funselektor Labs Inc. and Strelka Games, planned 2026 release) and was tested at 1080p resolution. These are the only officially published numbers as of 2026-07-25.
| Component | Minimum spec | Source |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Steam store |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-7400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | Steam store |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | Steam store |
| Graphics | Nvidia GTX 1070 / AMD Vega-56 (8 GB VRAM, DirectX 11) | Steam store |
| DirectX | Version 11 | Steam store |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection | Steam store |
| Storage | 4 GB available space | Steam store |
Funselektor built the game in Unity 6 per PCGamingWiki, which also confirms widescreen, ultra-widescreen, multi-monitor, 4K Ultra HD, DLSS 4, FSR 3, HDR, frame caps from 30 to 240 FPS, and full keyboard, mouse, and controller remapping. Those quality-of-life features mean a matching rig has room to push the visual preset above the 1080p test target that the Steam minimum was measured against.
Storage variance: 4 GB on Steam vs 2 GB on PCGW
PCGamingWiki records the install footprint as 2 GB rather than the 4 GB listed on the Steam store page. PCGameBenchmark also lists a 2 GB figure when triangulating minimum specs. For launch decisions, treat the Steam store listing as authoritative because the store page is updated by the developer and publisher directly; PCGW's smaller number likely reflects demo-era data or a pre-release build snapshot. If you are tight on disk, plan for 4 GB plus headroom for save data, shader caches, and Steam workshop downloads.
Recommended over the hill system requirements
A formal Recommended tier has Not announced as of 2026-07-25. The Steam store only publishes a single minimum row, so a written recommended spec cannot be quoted yet. Use the following working assumptions, all derived from the same Steam minimum plus PCGW's video feature list:
| Component | Working target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 is the natural upgrade path for any current PC build |
| Processor | Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or newer | Matches a GTX 1070-class GPU without bottlenecking |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM | Standard for a Unity 6 open-world sim with up to 4-player online co-op |
| Graphics | Nvidia RTX 3060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT or newer | Required to use DLSS 4 and FSR 3 plus the 60 to 240 FPS frame caps |
| DirectX | Version 11 or 12 | DirectX 12 unlocks better GPU scheduling on Windows 11 |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection | Required for online co-op and Steam Cloud saves |
| Storage | 4 GB minimum, 8 GB SSD recommended | Leaves room for shader caches and save growth |
These numbers are a planning aid, not a Funselektor-published spec; the formal Recommended tier will arrive once the studio publishes it on the Steam store.
Controller, peripherals, and Steam Deck
PCGamingWiki confirms full controller support including hotplugging, simultaneous keyboard and mouse with a controller, haptic feedback, XInput, DirectInput, DualShock 4, DualSense and DualSense Edge (including adaptive triggers and light bar), and Nintendo controllers. Steam Input rebinds should work out of the box. For handheld play, the developer is targeting Steam Deck performance per Steam Deck HQ; a verified Steam Deck badge has Not announced as of 2026-07-25. See the over the hill Steam Deck guide for current handheld notes and the verified-status block.
How to check if your PC can run over the hill
Use this three-step workflow before installing the public demo or wishlisting the release build:
- Open the Steam client and visit the over the hill store page; click "Can You Run It" to compare your hardware against the minimum row directly.
- Cross-check with PCGamingWiki for widescreen, DLSS 4, FSR 3, and HDR support so you can set realistic expectations on a modern monitor.
- Reserve at least 4 GB of free disk space even if PCGW lists a 2 GB footprint, and confirm a wired or stable Wi-Fi link for the confirmed 4-player online co-op.
Audio, language, and network requirements
The Steam store lists 13 supported interface languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese, plus separate master, engine, sound effect, interface, music, and ambience volume sliders per PCGamingWiki. A broadband Internet connection is required because the game is online co-op by design, with Steam Cloud saves and Family Sharing supported.
