Escape Academy PC Requirements: Minimum Specs

What are the minimum PC requirements for Escape Academy?

The officially listed minimum is short: Windows 7, DirectX version 10, and 5 GB of available storage space. That is the complete minimum requirements block on the game's Steam store page — it does not name a processor, a memory amount or a graphics card.

Because the store listing stops there, anything more specific than those three lines is not officially documented for this game. Third-party spec databases fill in the gaps with their own estimates, which are worth treating as unofficial.

Which Windows versions are supported?

Windows 7 is the only Windows version named in the official minimum requirements, and no recommended Windows version is published on the store page. So Windows 7 is the confirmed floor; whether the game runs smoothly on newer versions is not stated in the official listing, though it is reasonable to assume a modern Windows release will run it since the store page lists nothing higher as a requirement.

If you want a second opinion, System Requirements Lab's page for the game lists Windows 7 SP1 as the minimum operating system and Windows 10 for its recommended tier, according to System Requirements Lab. Those are that site's own figures, not an official statement from Coin Crew Games or iam8bit Presents.

How much storage does Escape Academy need?

The game requires 5 GB of available disk space, according to the official minimum requirements.

Both the minimum and recommended tiers on System Requirements Lab's page repeat the same 5 GB figure, according to System Requirements Lab, so storage is one point where the unofficial listings and the official one agree.

Which DirectX version does Escape Academy require?

DirectX version 10 is the officially listed requirement. No higher DirectX version appears in the official minimum block, and no recommended DirectX version is published there either.

For context, PCGamingWiki identifies Unity as the game's engine. That engine detail comes from PCGamingWiki and is not spelled out on the store page.

Are there official recommended specs?

No. The store page publishes a minimum block only — there is no officially recommended configuration for Escape Academy, so anyone quoting a "recommended" build is working from a third-party estimate.

System Requirements Lab is one of the third-party sites that publishes its own minimum and recommended tiers for the game, according to System Requirements Lab:

Those numbers are that site's own listing and are not part of the official store text, which lists only the operating system, DirectX version and storage space.

Is Escape Academy compatible with Steam Deck?

Yes — Valve has rated Escape Academy as Verified on Steam Deck. Valve's own test notes say the default controller configuration is fully functional, the on-screen controller icons match the Steam Deck, the interface text is legible, and the default graphics settings perform well on the hardware.

That rating is the one to go by rather than comparing the desktop specs above against Deck hardware, since Valve tested the game directly and published the result. The store also lists full controller support.
