Here are World of Warcraft Dragonflight’s system requirements

The bare minimum and the recommended settings you'll need for Dragonflight.

World of Warcraft has always been a demanding game system-wise. With each new update, expansion, and content drop, the minimal system requirement bar goes slightly up as Blizzard Entertainment uses state-of-the-art technology to keep the game in a pristine state. Visually speaking, the game has been stunningly beautiful ever since Legion, and with radiant zones like Suramar and Val’Sharah, you definitely want to keep your systems up to date to experience the game to its fullest.

In Dragonflight, you’ll discover uniquely designed zones like the Azure Span, the Forbidden Reach, Ohn’ahran Plains, Thaldraszus, and the Waking Shores that it would be simply a shame to miss out on the beauties hiding there. On top of that, having your settings on maximum to soar the skies of Dragon Isles with Dragonriding is a must since it’s an incredible new feature that allows you to bend the laws of physics and fly the skies on your own terms. 

To help you soar the skies in style, you’ll find both the minimum and recommended Dragonflight specifications you’ll need to have if you want to run the game properly below.
