Thick As Thieves PC Specs, Store Features, and Steam Cloud Guide

Quick PC Answer

Thick As Thieves is currently a PC-first launch, and the Steam store page already exposes more useful hardware and feature information than many unreleased games. The minimum configuration lists Windows 10, an Intel Core i5-4570, 12 GB of RAM, a GTX 1060 6GB-class GPU, DirectX 12, broadband internet, 10 GB of storage, and an SSD requirement. The recommended specification moves to Windows 11, an Intel Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM, an RTX 2070 8GB-class GPU, broadband internet, and the same 10 GB SSD requirement.

That is enough to help readers make real decisions now, especially if they are choosing between desktop, laptop, or a portable PC setup for launch week.

System Requirements Table

These numbers should be presented cleanly and without premature tuning claims. A lot of launch-day system-requirement pages immediately jump into fake "best settings" advice. That is low-trust content. Before hands-on testing, the useful move is to keep the official numbers visible, point out the SSD and broadband requirements, and remind co-op players that network stability matters as much as raw GPU power for a smooth session.

Store Features and Controller Checks

Steam Cloud matters here because short contract-based games tend to invite play across more than one machine. Family Sharing is listed as well, which answers another common purchase question without needing speculation. For controller support, the current public page should be more careful: do not claim a perfect controller experience until the live build confirms button prompts, rebinding, camera sensitivity, menu navigation, and co-op invite flow with a gamepad.

That correction matters for trust. A Steam store tag is useful, but players on launch day care about the actual feel: can they crouch, climb, aim, interact, and manage tools without fighting the interface? Until that is tested, the page should recommend keyboard and mouse as the safest default and controller as a launch-check item rather than a guaranteed comfort claim.

PC Launch Checklist

There are five launch-day checks this page should pick up immediately. Confirm whether controller prompts swap cleanly in real time. Test Steam Cloud between two PCs. Check whether the SSD requirement feels justified by load behavior and streaming stability. Verify whether co-op introduces extra CPU or bandwidth pressure. And check whether a Steam Deck or other handheld PC setup is functionally playable, even if it is not yet officially rated.

Until then, the best version of the page is the honest one: exact official specs, exact listed Steam features, and a short list of PC questions that still need real-world confirmation after May 20, 2026.
