Zombie Lab System Requirements — Minimum and Recommended

Zombie Lab asks for Windows 10, a modest dual-core-era CPU, 4 GB of RAM, a GTX 1650 SUPER or RX 5500 XT class graphics card and 4 GB of storage. The recommended spec keeps the same processor and graphics card but doubles memory to 8 GB and storage to 8 GB. That is the whole requirement list, and this page lays it out line by line and points at the entry most likely to block a machine. For what the game runs like once it is up, see the gameplay page.

Minimum and recommended, side by side

Both requirement blocks come from the Steam store data, and the interesting thing is how little changes between them. The OS, processor and graphics card lines are identical; only memory and storage move. That pattern usually means the game's load is dominated by one subsystem, and the studio has padded headroom elsewhere rather than asking for a faster machine.

Component	Minimum	Recommended
OS	Windows 10	Windows 10
Processor	Intel i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350 or greater	Same as minimum
Memory	4 GB RAM	8 GB RAM
Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT	Same as minimum
Storage	4 GB available space	8 GB available space
Sound card	DirectX 11 compatible	DirectX 11 compatible

A sound card line is unusual to see spelled out, and here it is the only DirectX requirement listed. It is a low bar: integrated audio on any machine from the last decade clears it.

Which requirement actually matters

The graphics card is the bottleneck, and the reason is the gap between the two hardware lines. An Intel i3-6100 is a 2015-era office processor, while a GTX 1650 SUPER is a 2019 gaming card. A machine that has the first rarely has the second, so the practical filter is the GPU, not the CPU.

Memory is the second thing to check, and only because the recommended spec doubles it. If you have 8 GB, you clear both blocks. If you have 4 GB, you clear the minimum and sit under the recommended figure, which is the case where the game may run but with less headroom.

Storage is the least interesting line. Even the recommended 8 GB is small by modern standards, so a machine with any free space at all is fine.

Reading the requirements honestly

Two things are worth saying plainly. First, these are published requirements rather than measured performance, so they describe what the studio says will run the game, not a frame rate. The store page publishes no target resolution or frame rate alongside them.

Second, the game is in Early Access, which means the requirement block can change with future builds. Nothing in the official data indicates a planned change, and no patch notes were available when this page was written. If your machine only just clears the minimum, the update page is the place to watch for version changes.
