You can play on your own or work together with friends online. The makers list an RTX-series or Radeon 500-series card and recommend 12 GB of memory.

What Ranch Simulator: Build, Hunt, Farm needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs not stated by the makers, and to play it well the makers suggest not stated by the makers, with 12GB of memory.

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

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.
