Not only do you not need a VR headset to dive into VRChat, but the VRChat system requirements<\/strong> are also no great challenge for any modern gaming rig. Of course, if you own extra VR tracking gear, your experience will be even better, as VRChat supports full-body tracking, finger tracking, and more to create a fully immersive experience.\n<\/p>\n

Over hundreds of thousands of worlds, VRChat<\/a> avatars socialize, build, and play without the need for you to shell out for the best gaming PC<\/a> from our buying guide. That said, you might want to consider picking up the best VR headset<\/a> for your budget to get the most out of the game, which ultimately doesn’t demand much from your PC to run.<\/p>\n

Here are the VRChat system requirements for PC:<\/p>\n\n\nMinimum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nOS<\/strong><\/td>\nWindows 10 64-bit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGPU<\/strong><\/td>\nNvidia GeForce GTX 970
AMD Radeon R9 290<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nCPU<\/strong><\/td>\nIntel Core i5 4590
AMD FX 8350<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nRAM<\/strong><\/td>\n4GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStorage<\/strong><\/td>\n1GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The VRChat minimum requirements are incredibly low by modern gaming standards, but that’s not too surprising for a game that was originally released in 2017. You’ll only need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 GPU, an Intel Core i5-4590 or AMD FX 8350 CPU, and a meager 4GB of RAM. However, as the developer has never published any performance expectations, it’s unclear what frame rates you can expect to get with this level of hardware.<\/p>\n

As for the VRChat recommended specs, they sadly don’t exist. This could be a sign that the game runs perfectly well on the minimum requirements alone, but we’d still recommend using a modern mid-range gaming rig if you want to guarantee a solid frame rate. Of course, you’ll also need a decent internet connection if you plan on diving into this online multiplayer experience.<\/p>\n

If we were to give a serious recommendation, though, it would be that you make sure the area around you is clear of valuables before you chuck on a VR headset and start swinging your arms around. I’ve injured myself more than once because of an ill-considered dance move, I’m embarrassed to admit.<\/p>\n

Where storage space is concerned, the VRChat download size is a paltry 1GB, which is barely a blip on the radar. The developer hasn’t listed that an SSD is required, but we’d recommend checking our buying guide for the best gaming SSD<\/a> if you’re still using a traditional hard disk drive.<\/p>\n
