Might & Magic: Heroes VI: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Might & Magic: Heroes VI

Might & Magic: Heroes VI is a fantasy strategy game from Blackhole, part of the long-running Heroes of Might and Magic series. You lead heroes across a world map, gathering resources, building up your towns and recruiting armies, then fight turn-based battles, with a story about a war between Angels and their old enemies, the Faceless. It is rated PEGI 16. It needs little power, so any of our gaming PCs handles it easily.

What Might & Magic: Heroes VI needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, and to play it well the makers suggest almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, with 2GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.

Questions about Might & Magic: Heroes VI on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
