The MMOARPG Lost Ark is finally in full swing in the West. Its action is punchy and visceral with surprisingly clean, colorful, and stylized graphics.
The game is very accommodating to old hardware. You won’t need the latest hardware to join in on the fun. The minimum PC specifications alone asks for hardware from 12 years ago. As per the recommended PC specifications, the necessary hardware is from half a decade ago.
If your PC specifications fall on either end of the spectrum or somewhere in the middle, you too can enjoy Lost Ark.
