Hearthstone's Minimum Spec Requirements Have Increased

As part of yesterday's patch, the minimum spec requirements for Hearthstone have increased due to the game moving over to a new Unity engine. At the time of the publish, the minimum requirements were actually not updated yet.

Good news though. Someone at Blizzard actually remembered to update the official Hearthstone system requirements page to reflect the new requirements.

As of the aforementioned patch, these are the new requirements that your device needs to play Hearthstone.

Quote From Blizzard Entertainment

If you need to install Hearthstone on external storage, make sure you download it to internal storage first, then movethe app to your SD card if your device allows it and install from there.

Note: Device must supportASTC and OpenGL ES 3.0. The cellular provider or device manufacturer can assist with locating this information.


Hopefully all of you are able to still run the game. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

  • I'm guessing despite it saying M1 or newer for Mac, it's still running x86 code.
