Valor Mortis is out on PC, and its official spec stops at 30 FPS on Low. Shadow PC gives you a full Windows PC with a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU, streamed to your laptop, your Mac or your TV.

Thirty frames on Low. That's the whole official spec.

Valor Mortis launched on October 13, 2026, on Steam, in the Xbox app and in PC Game Pass. One More Level, the studio behind Ghostrunner, has published a single set of Valor Mortis PC requirements, and it's the minimum: a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or Radeon RX 5600 XT, a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i5-10600K, 16 GB of RAM, Windows 10 and 60 GB of free space on an SSD. The note underneath tells you what that buys: 30 FPS at 1080p on Low, with upscaling on.

A first-person soulslike asks you to read a sabre swing and answer it in a heartbeat. At 30 frames on Low, that read gets harder. If your PC sits at the minimum or below it, Shadow PC is the other way in: a full Windows 11 PC in the cloud with a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU, streamed to the laptop, Mac or TV you already have. Install Steam or the Xbox app, download the game, and play Valor Mortis tonight without upgrading anything.

Where Shadow PC picks up from your PC

1. 30 FPS on Low is where the spec ends

Valor Mortis runs on Unreal Engine 5, and the minimum spec is honest about it. A GTX 1660 Ti class card holds 30 FPS at 1080p on Low, and only because upscaling renders part of each frame below 1080p. Older cards sit under that line, and lowering settings has little left to give.

Your Shadow PC runs on a dedicated NVIDIA RTX GPU. On our published benchmarks (high settings, ray tracing on, DLSS off), Cyberpunk 2077 holds 68 FPS in 1080p on Neo and 95 FPS on Power. It's the same card whether you connect from a 2018 laptop, a MacBook Air or a Chromebook.

2. An SSD or nothing, and 60 GB of it

The Steam page leaves no room for a hard drive: SSD required, 60 GB free. A desktop still booting from a mechanical disk is out, and on a 256 GB laptop the game takes close to a quarter of the drive before your first duel.

On Shadow PC, Valor Mortis installs on our SSD, and the download runs at up to 1 Gb/s whatever your home connection does. Shadow PC comes with 512 GB, expandable up to 5 TB, so the game sits next to the rest of your library. Your own drive keeps its space.

3. Steam or PC Game Pass, Mac included

Shadow PC is a Windows PC, so you pick the store. Buy Valor Mortis on Steam, or launch it from the Xbox app with PC Game Pass, where it's included from day one. Your saves and settings stay on a PC reserved for you.

There's no Mac version of the game, and you won't miss it. Open the Shadow app on your MacBook, a laptop, or an Apple TV or Android TV box, pair an Xbox or DualSense controller, and your campaign picks up where you left it. Your PC follows you from one screen to the next, one session at a time.

Neo suits 1080p or 1440p on a laptop or a monitor. Power adds up to 50% more GPU power, 20 GB of VRAM and 28 GB of RAM for a 4K TV. Shadow PC Lite covers a few hours of play a day in 1440p. No commitment.
