198X is not just a beat ’em up, a shoot ’em up, a racing game, a ninja game and an RPG. This is a love letter to the golden age of arcade games – yet with a scope that was never possible in the actual 1980s. It’s a story about finding yourself – and your self-confidence – in the world of video games. A coming-of-age story told through multiple game genres, worlds and characters. Feel the sensation of fighting, shooting, driving, jumping and role-playing – combined with emotional, cinematic storytelling. And what happens when the line between reality and game starts to blur…?
Official system requirements
198X isn't on Steam, so we don't have official Steam-published specs to display. Our 2026 hardware recommendations above are based on real-world performance testing and similar-title comparison.
Can your PC run 198X?
Check the manufacturer's launcher (Battle.net, Riot Client, Epic, etc.) for specific requirements — most live-service titles run well on a modern entry-level gaming PC.
