System requirements for Child of Light | Appendix Child of Light Guide

Last update: 05 September 2017

Despite beautiful visuals, Child of Light is not a prohibitive game - it should work even on older PCs and laptops with integrated graphics processors. When set to the minimum software requirements, the game needs DirectX 9 to be installed, which allows a player who owns older devices to play the game. Interestingly enough, when playing the PC version of the game through Steam, it requires a player to connect with his Uplay account.
