Below are the official system requirements for BeamNG.drive, taken from the game’s Steam store page (last checked: September 2026). BeamNG.drive is still in Early Access, so these requirements may change with future updates.

The recommended specs are based on 1080p resolution. A gamepad is recommended.
VR Requirements
To play in VR, you need a graphics card with at least 10 GB VRAM, Vulkan support and an OpenXR-compatible headset.
What About Mods?
Mods add to the game’s requirements:
- Storage: every mod you install needs extra space. Large maps can be several gigabytes each.
- RAM and VRAM: high-detail vehicles and big maps use more memory. If the game stutters or crashes after installing mods, try removing a few, especially large maps.
- Many vehicles at once: BeamNG.drive simulates every vehicle’s physics in real time, so spawning several detailed mod vehicles mainly loads your CPU.
Our Test PCs
We test every mod on our site with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. That is between the minimum and recommended specs above, so if a mod runs well for us, it should run well on most gaming PCs. See How We Test Mods for details.
