Sonic the Hedgehog is a beloved franchise that has survived the test of time, and the latest Sonic Rumble system requirements point towards an incredibly accessible game that will run on just about any entry-level PC or laptop—even one that's a decade old.
This online co-op version of Sonic puts us in mind of Fall Guys with a SEGA twist and, as can be expected, barely demands anything from your gaming laptop or PC. In fact, you won’t need anything nearly as powerful as the best graphics card on our buying guide to get Sonic Rumble running at its very best. You won’t even need a high-powered processor, as hardware from 2012 is enough to get this contender for best battle royale games running.
Here are the Sonic Rumble system requirements:
| Category | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or later | Windows 10 or later |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GT 630 AMD Radeon R7 240 |
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 AMD Radeon RX 460 |
| VRAM | 2GB | 2GB |
| CPU | Intel Pentium G3260 AMD A8-7650K |
Intel Core i3-8100 AMD Ryzen 3 3100 |
| RAM | 4GB | 8GB |
| Storage | 7GB | 7GB |
Assuming you aren't running ancient hardware from the Windows XP era, the Sonic Rumble minimum requirements will pose no challenge to anyone. You'll only need an Nvidia GeForce GT 630 or AMD Radeon R7 270 GPU with 2GB of VRAM, an Intel Pentium G3260 or AMD A8-7650K CPU, and 4GB of RAM. You could almost argue that Windows 10 is the toughest element of these minimum specs.
The recommended specs aren't much more demanding either—only requiring an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 460 GPU, both nearly 10 years old. You’ll also need an Intel Core i3-8100 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100 CPU paired with 8GB of RAM to meet the recommended setup. These requirements are so surprisingly low that they even match the specs for Sonic Origins, a SEGA game from 2022.
It’s unclear what kind of performance you can expect since SEGA hasn't released any official benchmarks. However, it’s reasonable to estimate around 60fps at 1080p using a GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 460, even without adjusting the game’s settings.
The Sonic Rumble download size is also incredibly small—just 7GB of storage required. There's no mention of an SSD requirement, and the game will likely run just fine on a traditional hard drive. That said, if you're due for an upgrade, you might want to check out our best gaming SSDs guide for smoother overall performance.
