Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth PC Hardware Guide
Official requirements explained
The official minimum CPU is an Intel Core i5-3470 at 3.2 GHz or an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 at 3.1 GHz. Both are roughly a decade old and sit in the entry-level quad-core tier. For graphics, the minimum lists an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 with 4 GB, an AMD Radeon RX 460 with 4 GB, or an Intel Arc A380 with 6 GB, which roughly corresponds to today's GTX 1050 Ti class. The minimum asks for 8 GB of RAM and 82 GB of storage.
The official recommended CPU is an Intel Core i7-4790 at 3.6 GHz or an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.2 GHz, a mid-range quad-core from the same older generation that is clearly one step above the minimum. The recommended graphics cards are an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with 6 GB, an AMD Radeon RX 5700 with 8 GB, or an Intel Arc A750 with 8 GB, which lands in the entry gaming class. The recommended RAM rises to 16 GB, and storage stays at 82 GB.
For the player, the gap between minimum and recommended shows up mostly in the graphics card and memory. Meeting the minimum means the game will start and run, but you should expect to lower resolution and settings. Meeting the recommended level gives you more room for comfortable play at mainstream settings. The publisher does not require an SSD, so a hard drive will work, but loading will be slower.
Recommended builds for three budgets
The entry build pairs an AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB, both of which only meet the official minimum, so plan on lowering resolution and settings. For the CPU, an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 meets the recommended level, while an Intel Core i3-10100F sits well above it. Pair either with 16 GB of RAM. This suits a tight budget and a 1080p target where medium-low settings are acceptable.
The mainstream build is built around an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 8GB or an AMD Radeon RX 6600, both of which meet the recommended level and can run at mainstream settings fairly steadily. An AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or an Intel Core i5-10400 gives the CPU clear headroom above the recommended level. 16 GB of RAM is sufficient. If you want higher settings or plan to stream while playing, this is the best value option.
The high-end build uses an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 or an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, with the graphics card and CPU both comfortably beyond the recommended level. It suits players who want high settings or higher resolutions, or who plan to run heavier games and mods later. At this level, 32 GB of RAM leaves more room for multitasking and mods.
Graphics settings with the biggest impact
In a large open-world action RPG like this, the settings that usually cost the most are shadows, volumetric lighting and fog, reflections, and the density of crowds and scene objects. Shadows and volumetrics are numerous in city streets, so lowering their quality tends to recover the most performance with the smallest visual loss. Depth of field and motion blur are safe to reduce or turn off with little effect on play.
Texture detail is worth keeping high where possible, since it mainly uses video memory. As long as your graphics card has enough VRAM, raising textures usually costs less than the lighting effects above. Anti-aliasing can be matched to what your card can handle, and weaker cards can use a lighter method.
Upscaling technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS work by rendering at a lower internal resolution and reconstructing the image to your target resolution. They often reduce the load with only a modest drop in image quality, so enabling them is a low-cost way to improve smoothness if your card supports them. Ray tracing is among the most demanding options and is best left off on lower-end cards.
Laptops and handheld PCs
A laptop GPU with the same name as a desktop card usually delivers less performance, because laptops are limited by power caps and cooling space. Within the same family, mobile versions often have fewer cores and less memory bandwidth than their desktop counterparts. When buying a laptop, check the model's actual power configuration rather than relying on the name, and make sure the cooling is adequate, since poor thermals will reduce performance during long sessions.
Handheld PCs such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally are portable platforms. In general you should lower resolution and graphics settings, and use in-game or system-level performance limits to balance battery life and heat. FrameScope has no verification data for the Steam Deck, so this is general guidance only and we cannot give a specific compatibility rating.
Overall, handhelds and entry-level laptops are best aimed at stable play with reduced settings and resolution, rather than high-end visuals.
Storage and memory
The official minimum asks for 8 GB of RAM and the recommended level is 16 GB. For most players, 16 GB is the practical starting point, letting the game and background programs run more smoothly together. If you use dual-channel memory, install the modules as a matched pair, which generally improves overall performance and integrated graphics results.
The game needs 82 GB of storage. Leave extra space beyond that for updates and any future additional content. The publisher does not list an SSD as required, so a mechanical hard drive can run the game, but an SSD noticeably shortens loading times, which is a worthwhile upgrade for a game built around large city maps and frequent scene transitions.
If your drive space is limited, prioritise installing the game on an SSD, even if other files stay on a hard drive.
