Dirt Town system requirements

Four hardware tiers cover Dirt Town across Windows and macOS minimum and recommended configurations. Linux is not supported, and Intel-based Macs are incompatible. Every configuration requires 16 GB of system memory and 500 MB of available storage.

Outside the four rows

01Linux

Linux is not an enabled platform for either the free demo or the full Early Access build, and no Linux specification tier exists.

02Intel Macs

macOS builds require Apple silicon (M2 Pro or higher) and are not compatible with macOS computers built on Intel processors.

03Controls and language

Every hardware tier notes that a gamepad is optional, with broader peripheral support for gamepads, joysticks, and steering wheels. English is the only supported interface language.

04Demo and Early Access

Both the playable demo and the Early Access release note that performance optimization is ongoing, and the full build adds an internet connection requirement for online co-op.

Hardware planning and compatibility details

Why AVX2 and Shader Model 6.2 matter

Real-time voxel or heightfield dirt deformation, moisture tracking, and flowing water place steady load on both CPU vector units and modern DirectX 12 compute shaders. On Windows, check that your 6-core or 8-core CPU supports AVX2 and that your GPU supports DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.2.

Apple silicon memory and GPU tiers

On macOS 14 Sonoma, base M1 or non-Pro M2 chips fall below the stated M2 Pro minimum floor. Unified memory across both minimum (M2 Pro, Max, or Ultra) and recommended (M4 Pro) Mac tiers is set at 16 GB.

Compact 500 MB install footprint

Despite demanding midrange-to-high GPU hardware (RTX 3060 / RX 6600 minimum, RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT recommended), the storage footprint is only 500 MB across all four Windows and macOS tiers.

Peripherals for heavy machinery

While keyboard bindings (N, J, H, K, U, L) cover every cab function, operators who prefer analog blade grading or steering can connect gamepads, dual joysticks, or a steering wheel setup.
