System Requirements

A mid-range gaming PC from the last few years is enough for Fart Together. The raft, the hippos and the courses are stylized rather than photorealistic, so the bigger worry for most crews is not frame rate but connection quality, since everyone shares the same physics object in real time.

What Your PC Needs

At the low end, the game asks for a 64-bit copy of Windows 10, a six-core Intel Core i5-8400 or a quad-core AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB of memory and a graphics card in the class of a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or Radeon RX 560. That is the setup to aim for if you mainly want to join friends and do not mind trimming a few visual settings.

For a smoother ride, the target moves up to Windows 10 or 11, an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB of memory and a GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 590. Both tiers use DirectX 11, a standard DirectX-compatible sound card and about 4 GB of drive space, which is small by modern standards.

  • Entry level: Windows 10 64-bit, i5-8400 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti or RX 560.
  • Comfortable: Windows 10/11 64-bit, i5-10400 or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1660 or RX 590.
  • Always needed: DirectX 11, about 4 GB of storage and a broadband connection.

Why the Connection Matters More Than the GPU

Every hippo pushes the same raft, so a late input from one laggy player throws off everyone else's timing. A crew can have four powerful PCs and still spin into walls if one person is on unstable Wi-Fi. Plugging in a cable, pausing big downloads and closing streaming apps in the background usually fixes more problems than any graphics setting.

If a friend keeps desyncing, ask them to test a run on a wired connection before blaming the game. Most "the raft did something weird" moments in mixed crews trace back to one shaky link.

Controllers, Keyboards and Platforms

A gamepad feels natural for short thrust taps, and both Xbox controllers and the PlayStation DualSense are recognized through Steam Input. Players who prefer a keyboard can use one as well. The game lives on Steam for Windows only; Mac, Linux, phones, consoles and browsers have no official version, as covered on the platforms page.

A Quick Way to Check Your Setup

Open Settings and look under System, then About, to see your processor and RAM. Right-click the Start button, open Device Manager and expand Display adapters to find your graphics card. Two minutes of checking tells you which tier you are in.

The cheapest test of all is the demo: if a full demo course runs smoothly with your usual crew, Early Access will too. Connection troubleshooting lives in Team Coordination.
