Frequently asked questions

Which GPU do I need for Xenia?
The minimum GPU score for Xenia is 3,000 (FPSHQ scale). The most affordable suitable card is MSI Suprim X GeForce RTX 3060; rendering at 2–3× resolution needs ×2.2 headroom — the ASUS ROG Strix White GeForce RTX 3090 Ti level and up. The project officially requires: GTX 980 Ti+ (rec.) · 2 GB VRAM or more.
Which CPU do I need for Xenia?
The minimum CPU score is 5,200: 142 of 456 catalogue CPUs pass it. Official requirements: x86-64, AVX (AVX2 rec.) · 4+ cores / 6 recommended. Emulation depends on per-core performance rather than the core count.
How much RAM does Xenia need?
Per the Xenia documentation: minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB. The emulator keeps the game image and shader cache in memory, so a RAM shortage causes stutter during shader compilation.
Which operating systems does Xenia support?
Xenia runs on: Windows 10+ (Linux via Proton). Graphics APIs: Direct3D 12, Vulkan. On Windows, Vulkan is usually faster (if your GPU supports it); on Linux it is Vulkan/OpenGL only.
Can my PC run Xenia?
Pick your GPU and CPU in the "Can my PC run it" block above: the page compares their scores with the Xenia minimum (GPU 3,000, CPU 5,200) and shows the headroom. ×1.4 or more means comfortable play at the console's native resolution.
Is Xenia still updated?
Yes, Xenia is an active project; status last checked Oct 4, 2026. Official site: https://xenia.jp/.

Methodology and sources

This page uses the FPSHQ database: the GPU and CPU catalogue with synthetic benchmark scores, official game system requirements, FPS measurements from users of the FPSHQ app and the FPSHQ performance model. Calculated values are estimates, not a measurement of your exact configuration: the real result depends on drivers, settings and the rest of the hardware. More about the methodology →
