PianoGlow system requirements
These are the figures the Steam store published for PianoGlow, app 3499520, read on 9 Nov 2026. Where the store names an operating system but not a graphics card, the card cell stays empty.
Desktop minimums
Windows is listed as Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, and Windows 10. The minimum line is a 1.7 GHz dual-core CPU, 2 GB of memory, and 800 MB of disk. The graphics line says a dedicated GPU is recommended. It does not name a GeForce or Radeon model, so I am not filling one in. macOS is 13 or newer, an Intel Core i5 or equal, Apple Silicon from M1 upward, 2 GB of memory, a Metal GPU with 2 GB of video memory, and 800 MB of disk. Linux asks for 2 GB of memory and 1,100 MB of disk. A Steam news post describes a native Linux build and recommends the official Steam deb package. An earlier build had needed Proton. The current store copy is the native one.
| Platform | OS | CPU / GPU | RAM | Disk | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | 7 SP1+ and 10 | 1.7 GHz dual-core; dedicated GPU recommended | 2 GB | 800 MB | Steam store · 1 source |
| macOS | 13 or newer | Core i5 class, or M1+; Metal, 2 GB VRAM | 2 GB | 800 MB | Steam store · 1 source |
| Linux | Native build | Not named | 2 GB | 1100 MB | Developer · 1 source, 2 pages |
| Steam Deck | SteamOS | Valve label: Playable | — | — | Steam store · 1 source |
Steam Deck
Playable is a weaker label than Verified. Valve is saying the game runs and may need a manual tweak. The developer has not published a Deck-only settings guide. Expect to touch UI scale. Controller prompts are not the same thing as a MIDI keyboard, and a Deck does not grow a piano action.
What the store also supports, because it changes the “requirements”
The Windows notes mention Wooting analog keyboards and ASIO audio. Those are features, not minimums. ASIO is the low-latency driver path on Windows. If you are buying a computer only for this game, 2 GB of RAM is the published floor and a poor target for a modern desktop. I am not upgrading the number. The floor is what Steam printed.

Questions
Can my PC run PianoGlow?
If it is Windows 10, has 2 GB of RAM, and has about a gigabyte free, it meets the printed minimum. A dedicated GPU is recommended, and no model number is given.
Does PianoGlow work on Steam Deck?
Steam marks it Playable, not Verified. That is the whole compatibility sentence the store gives.
