About PixARK
PixARK is a blocky, voxel-style survival game from Snail Games USA, set in the world of ARK. You gather materials, craft tools and weapons, build bases and tame dinosaurs and fantasy creatures in a cube-built world you can dig into and reshape. You can play on your own or join a tribe with others online, either working together or fighting rival players. It is rated PEGI 7. It runs on modest hardware, so any of our gaming PCs plays it perfectly.
What PixARK needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, with at least 4GB of memory.

Will my computer play PixARK?
On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably.
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.
