What the new tech means
- Fur/feather/scale rendering — the headline visual upgrade is GPU-heavy
- Water simulation (aquariums) — adds constant GPU and CPU load
- Bigger guest crowds — Planet Zoo 1's crowd simulation already stressed CPUs
Plan for 16 GB RAM minimum and an RTX 2060-class GPU as the confirmed floor; 32 GB and a 30-series card for comfortable large zoos.
This page reflects the confirmed specs above; the Steam store page is the fallback if Frontier revises them.
