It’s a game that crosses generations and has always had the quality of having been very well optimized.

System Requirements For Age of Empires IV on PC
The requirements are always controversial, mainly because each new title usually has great resources. This will not be the case for the game distributed by Microsoft, since these requirements are quite affordable for the vast majority of users:
Minimum requirements
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G or Intel i5-6300U
- GPU: RX Vega 11 or HD 520 (curious that the NVIDIA MX does not include)
- RAM: 8 GB
- Storage room: 50 GB
Low requirements
- CPU: Ryzen 3 1300X or i5-4460T
- GPU: HD 7950 or GTX 760
- VRAM: 2 GB
- RAM: 8 GB
- Storage room: 50 GB
Recommended requirements
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 or i5-8400
- GPU: RX 570 or GTX 970
- VRAM: 4GB
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage room: 50 GB
Ideal requirements
- CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 or i7-9700
- GPU: RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070
- VRAM: 8 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage room: 50 GB
Considering the requirements, there are several curiosities. First of all, we can install it in Windows 10 and Windows 11 without any problem. Second, Microsoft specifies that we will have to have 93 GB of space
Interestingly, the recommended and ideal requirements specify quite disparate processors in terms of performance, as the i5-8400 is typically much faster in games than the Ryzen 5 2600 and the i7-9700 is somewhat superior to the Ryzen 5. 3600 as such.
It seems that what predominates is the number of cores and threads available and not so much the CPI or the frequency, something unusual today which seen in another way helps to level the out a bit. competetion. The requirements themselves are quite scalable and undemanding, we understand that they refer to games. 1080p at 60 FPS as canon dictates, so probably every user will be able to play this long-awaited Age of Empire IV without a problem.
