ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS 4 PC Hardware Guide
Official requirements explained
The official minimum lists an Intel Core i5 3450 or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X. In today's terms, the i5-4570 tier is very old entry-level silicon, while the Ryzen 3 1300X is an early quad-core that is still usable. If your processor is not especially old, the minimum should get the game running, though the game will lean on the CPU more than a newer chip would.
The minimum GPU is a GeForce GTX 660 (2GB) or Radeon HD 7870 (2GB). In our tier data that sits around the Radeon HD 7850 class, which is integrated-level or very old entry hardware. The recommended GPU is a GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB) or Radeon RX 580 (4GB), which is an older entry-level card. The gap between the two lists is mainly about raw GPU power and video memory, so the recommended card gives you more room at higher settings and resolutions.
Both levels list 8GB of RAM and 25GB of storage. An SSD is not required. The recommended CPU is an Intel Core i7 3770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, one step above the minimum. The publisher did not list any higher tier.
Recommended builds for three budgets
The entry build pairs a GeForce GTX 1650 4GB with a Ryzen 3 3100. It suits players on a tight budget who want the game to run smoothly without chasing high settings. Go with 16GB of RAM, because 8GB is tight on modern systems.
The mainstream build uses a GeForce GTX 1660 Super with a Ryzen 5 3600. This is the best value for most players. It sits comfortably above the official recommended level and should hold steady at medium-high settings. Again, 16GB is the sensible choice.
The high build uses an RTX 3060 Ti with a Ryzen 5 5600X. It is well above the recommended requirements and suits anyone wanting higher resolution, longer draw distance, or a setup that will last a few years without worry. 16GB is the starting point, and 32GB gives more breathing room if you run other programs alongside the game.
Graphics settings with the biggest impact
In games like this, shadows, volumetric lighting and fog, on-screen character and object density, and draw distance usually cost the most. Shadows and volumetric effects are often the heaviest items on screen, so if your GPU only just meets the recommended level, lowering those one step is usually the most efficient change. Draw distance matters most in large scenes with distant buildings, and a medium setting is often a fair compromise.
If the game offers ray tracing, leave it off unless you have a newer high-end card. On entry and mainstream GPUs it tends to cost the most for the least visible gain. Resolution and anti-aliasing should match your monitor; pushing beyond native resolution is rarely worth it.
Upscaling technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and Intel XeSS render at a lower internal resolution and reconstruct a sharper image. If your GPU supports one, enabling it can free up a good amount of performance, with some small trade-offs in fine detail. Judge the choice by how the image actually looks on your screen.
Laptops and handheld PCs
A laptop GPU with the same name as a desktop card usually performs differently. Laptops are limited by power budgets and cooling space, so check the card's power limit in the laptop's specifications rather than relying on the model name alone. Poor cooling can also cause long periods of throttling, so keep vents clear and set the power profile to performance when gaming.
Handheld PCs such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally use integrated hardware, where the trade-off between performance and power draw is more pronounced. In general, start with low presets and a lower resolution, and use the system's power or frame-limit options to keep the device within a stable power range. We have no verification data for these devices, so this is general guidance only.
If you play on battery, check settings while plugged in first, then adjust for battery life.
Storage and memory
The official minimum and recommended levels both list 8GB of RAM. On current systems we recommend 16GB, which avoids shortages when the game runs alongside the operating system, a browser and chat apps. Dual-channel memory, with two sticks installed in the matching slots, gives better bandwidth and helps overall smoothness.
The game needs 25GB of storage. Leave extra room for updates and save files; keeping several tens of gigabytes free is a comfortable margin. An SSD is not required, but a solid-state drive noticeably shortens loading and scene transitions. If you can only upgrade one part of the storage setup, putting the game on an SSD is usually the most noticeable improvement.
A hard drive can still run the game, just with longer load times. If your PC has both an SSD and an HDD, install the game on the SSD.
