What NCSOFT has not published
- No macOS or Linux requirements — the global client is Windows only.
- No Steam Deck verification status at the time of writing.
- Storage is the same on both tiers, so 100 GB is a hard floor rather than a recommendation.
What is still unconfirmed
NCSOFT has not stated the following. We list them rather than guess — if you find a confident answer to one of these elsewhere, it is someone's inference.
- Steam Deck verification status. Valve has not rated the game and NCSOFT has not commented, so anyone stating it runs or does not run on Deck is guessing.
- Whether the published specification targets 1080p, 1440p, or a particular frame rate — NCSOFT lists hardware without a resolution or FPS target.
- Whether these requirements will be revised before the global launch. They describe the client as listed today.
Frequently asked
- Can my PC run Aion 2?
- If you have a GTX 1050 Ti or better, 8 GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-10500 or better, and 100 GB free on a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 install, you meet NCSOFT's minimum specification.
- How much storage does Aion 2 need?
- 100 GB of available space, on both the minimum and recommended tiers. NCSOFT recommends an SSD.
- Does Aion 2 run on Mac or Linux?
- No. NCSOFT lists Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) only, and has published no macOS or Linux requirements.
- Will Aion 2 run on the Steam Deck?
- Unknown. The game has no Steam Deck compatibility rating from Valve and NCSOFT has not commented. The minimum specification is above the Deck's hardware, but Proton compatibility is the deciding factor and cannot be tested until the client ships on 30 September 2026.
- Do these requirements apply to the global release?
- They are the specifications on the global Steam listing for app 3393110, so yes — they describe the global client. NCSOFT could revise them before launch.
- What engine does Aion 2 use?
- Unreal Engine 5. NCSOFT states it directly in the Steam store description, alongside the claim that the world is 36 times larger than the original Aion's.
