Planet Coaster 2: Minimum and recommended PC requirements

Disneyland's got nothing on me

Planet Coaster 2, the sequel to the 2016 hit theme-park management sim, is releasing on November 6 on multiple platforms. If you’re playing on PC, it’s worth checking whether your set up meets at least minimum requirements.

For anyone who loves theme parks, or management sims, or preferably both, Planet Coaster 2 promises to bring back everything that was so beloved in its now eight year old predecessor. Not only can you place down rides and attractions, including brand new water rides for the first time, but you can customize them as well. You can really put your own spin on your dream tourist trap. 

But can your PC handle the game? Probably. The size of the game doesn’t seem to be much of an issue, but you’ll need to install Planet Coaster 2 on an SSD to ensure it runs smoothly and without stuttering.
