Meccha Chameleon is all the colorful rage right now in the video game community, and for good reason. Even being limited to one platform, the game is breaking records on Steam, selling over 7 million copies in under 2 weeks and then some. Now, I’m a PlayStation diehard, so this game not being available on my favorite platform was a bummer to me.
However, the system requirements are truly a sight to behold, as you can run it on even a potato PC. So, this was great news for me, as my laptop can run this colorful gem of a game flawlessly.
I think most players have modern PCs right now, thanks to the slew of heavy-hitting titles that have been released recently, but even if you don’t, it’s good enough to run Meccha Chameleon without any issues. Personally, I like playing as the Hider, and even with all the coloring and painting requirements, the game runs smoothly. So, here’s what your PC needs to run Meccha Chameleon on Steam.
Meccha Chameleon: System Requirements Explained
To run Meccha Chameleon on PC, you need Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5 processor, and a DirectX 11 or 12 compatible graphics card. Meccha Chameleon’s official Steam page has some missing details, such as storage space, but it’s informative enough to know that you don’t need much to run it.
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit.
- PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5
- GRAPHICS: DirectX 11 or 12 compatible graphics card
While the storage space isn’t mentioned, the actual size of the game is 2.1 GB, which is pretty negligible and similar to other indie multiplayer experiences like REPO (1 GB) and Lethal Company (4 GB). If your graphics card supports DirectX 11 or 12, then you’re all set to play Meccha Chameleon with your friends, or solo, granted it’s a ton more fun if you do it with the former.
