Games & apps

Fortnite — Build, battle, and find your next squad. Check the current native Windows or Android release.
Minecraft: Java Edition — The desktop edition for community servers and mods. This check covers the unmodified game.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition — Build across Windows, Android, and supported Chromebooks with the cross-play edition.
Roblox — A world of player-made experiences. Performance can differ dramatically between experiences.
Genshin Impact — Explore Teyvat with a party of elemental adventurers. Leave room for large content updates.
Stardew Valley — Turn an overgrown plot into your own farm. A lighter option for a quieter gaming session.
Counter-Strike 2 — Precision team competition on the Source 2 engine. Minimum specifications do not guarantee competitive performance.
VALORANT — A tactical team shooter with a low hardware baseline and specific Windows security requirements.
Blender — Model, animate, and render in 3D. Scene complexity matters as much as the launch requirements.
Visual Studio Code — A lightweight editor for everyday coding. Extensions, compilers, and containers have their own requirements.
Discord — Voice, video, text, and community chat. This check covers the current native desktop client.
Spotify — Stream music and podcasts with the current native desktop or Android app.
OBS Studio — Record and livestream your screen, games, camera, and audio. Encoding settings can dramatically change the load.
GIMP — Free image editing and graphics software. Large layered images need more memory than the installer itself.
Krita — Digital painting, illustration, and animation with tablet support.
Godot Engine — Build 2D and 3D games with the Godot editor. Renderer choice changes the graphics requirement.
Android Studio — Google’s IDE for Android development. The emulator is much more demanding than the editor alone.
Docker Desktop — Run Linux containers locally with Docker Desktop. Virtualization and OS features are mandatory.
Adobe Photoshop — Professional image editing and compositing. Scratch-disk and large-document workloads benefit from much more free storage.
Adobe Premiere — Professional video editing. The published minimum is aimed at HD; 4K and effects-heavy work need considerably more hardware.
