The system must present 6 GB of dedicated VRAM, 12 GB of system memory, and a 70 GB solid‑state drive for storage. The operating system must be the 64‑bit edition of Windows 11.

Recommended specifications – awaiting official data
Both CDPR and co‑developer Fool’s Theory have yet to publish a recommended‑spec sheet for Songs of the Past. The expansion is slated for a 2027 launch, so detailed guidance will follow nearer the release date. Until then, gamers with legacy hardware can continue enjoying the original Witcher 3 title, but the new DLC will remain inaccessible.
