ORION › Game requirements › Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition
Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, by World's Edge, Tantalus Media, Forgotten Empires (Strategy), came out on Steam on October 15, 2020. Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Estimate per graphics card
The official page does not name a specific graphics card for both the minimum and the recommended specs. Rather than an invented number, we give none. ORION does the maths on your own PC, with your card, processor and screen, then measures the real frame rate while you play.
