Minimum

OS: Windows 7 (possibly xp as well, no promises)
Processor: Dual Core+
Graphics: 512MB+
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Storage: 500 MB available space
Notes: It's possible Pivot XL uses less resources than that weird old Windows screensaver with the flying winged toasters. Man, I should really read about that, what the heck was that all about?

OS: Windows 10
Processor: I bet if they made a 5 core processor it would be really weird, but could run this game well.
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070 (Pivot XL has one less effect than Bing Bong XL, so you don't need all that 1080 power anymore)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Storage: 502 MB available space
Notes: The universe is a cruel uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead.

Does Pivot XL have co-op or multiplayer?
