Unreal Engine 6 system requirements: nothing official yet.
Epic has not published official Unreal Engine 6 system requirements. This page records the gap and uses UE5 as a baseline so you can plan, but not commit hardware decisions.
No minimum spec. No recommendation.
Any "UE6 minimum spec" article is extrapolation, usually built on UE5 specs plus a guess.
Use UE5 as a planning floor.

|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 6+ cores, modern (Ryzen 7 / Core i7) | 4 cores acceptable | Estimated |
| GPU | RTX 3070 / RX 6700 XT for Nanite+Lumen | Mid-range (RTX 2060 / RX 5700) | Unknown |
