AION 2 PC Requirements Announced: Unreal Engine 5 Raises the Bar

When AION 2 opened its servers in Korea and Taiwan on November 18, 2025, NC published the official PC configuration — and it confirms the Unreal Engine 5 sequel is a meaningful step up from its 2008 ancestor.

The Headline Numbers

• Minimum: Core i5-10400F or Ryzen 3 3300X, 16GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1660 (or equivalent AMD card) — targeting 1080p play
• Recommended: Ryzen 5 5600X or Core i5-12400F, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060 Ti class GPU
• Storage: an SSD is required at minimum spec (50GB+), with NVMe and 70GB+ for the recommended tier — the era of running MMOs off spinning disks is over

The 16GB minimum is the loudest message: this is a modern-engine MMO built for the 2020s, and it expects RAM headroom for seamless zone streaming. The full breakdown, with upgrade advice, lives in our system requirements guide.

Making the Most of Mid-Range Hardware

NVIDIA confirmed DLSS 4 and Reflex support at launch, which materially widens the playable range — multi-frame generation is exactly the kind of feature that lets a 1660-class machine enjoy the engine's UE5 showcase.
