What are the minimum requirements for Minecraft Legends?

Minecraft Legends will release worldwide on April 18, effectively expanding the Minecraft universe. This upcoming spinoff game looks different than its original predecessor, and players can’t wait to test it out.

If you’re planning to pre-order Minecraft Legends for PC, however, you should make sure your rig can run the game at least on low settings. In case your PC isn’t good enough to play Minecraft Legends, you can upgrade it ahead of time or pre-order the game for its other platforms—Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
