Glory To The Heroes System Requirements — Full PC Spec Guide
Before you enlist in Glory To The Heroes, make sure your PC can handle the frontline. Built on Unreal Engine 5.5 with photogrammetry-based real-world maps and full physics simulation, the glory to the heroes system requirements are demanding — especially on the recommended tier where an RTX 4070 Ti is called for. Below you will find the complete minimum and recommended specifications as listed on Steam, along with tips for optimizing performance on mid-range hardware.
System requirements reflect hardware demand for the current Demo build and may change on the full Early Access release.

Technologies
The game runs on UE5.5, leveraging Nanite, Lumen, and photogrammetry for real-world terrain accuracy.
DLSS 3 and Frame Generation support allows RTX GPU users to significantly boost frame rates at high visual quality.
AMD FSR support provides upscaling for non-NVIDIA GPU users to maintain performance at higher resolutions.
NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency, important for the precise aiming mechanics in this realistic mil-sim.
DX12 is mandatory. Windows 7/8 users are not supported. Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date.
Optimization tips
Enable DLSS or FSR
If you have an RTX GPU, enable DLSS Quality mode before adjusting any other setting. This alone can provide 40-60% performance improvement with minimal visual quality loss. AMD users should enable FSR Quality or Balanced mode.
Reduce Shadow Quality First
Shadow quality is the most GPU-intensive setting in Unreal Engine 5 games. Dropping shadows from Ultra to High typically recovers 15-25% GPU load with minimal visual impact at 1080p.
Set Texture Streaming Budget
If you have 8GB VRAM, set texture quality to High rather than Ultra. Going Ultra on 8GB VRAM will cause stuttering from constant texture streaming, especially on the large photogrammetry-based maps.
Close Background Applications
Glory To The Heroes is RAM-hungry at 14GB minimum. On a 16GB system, closing browsers, Discord overlays, and streaming software before launching will reduce stutters significantly.
Use Performance Mode for Competitive Play
For competitive PvP engagements, reduce your settings to Medium-Low and prioritize frame rate over visuals. Higher FPS improves your response time when spotting and engaging enemies at range.
