Cleaner Company PC System Requirements

Before you wishlist, install the Flying Canteen demo, or schedule a four-player Star Wipers night, confirm your PC against the official Steam system requirements for Cleaner Company. The game is an upcoming 2026 release from Wildflame Studio (developer) and Mythwright (publisher) on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with online co-op for 1–4 players and a full solo option. Specs below match Steam’s published tables; always re-check the Steam store page if Mythwright posts a hardware revision near launch.

This page sits under the Tools Hub because performance and input feel are part of the toolkit. Pair it with Controls once you can actually boot the build.

Minimum requirements (Steam)

Steam lists these minimum specs for a 64-bit PC:

Component	Minimum
OS	Windows 10
Processor	Intel i5 8th gen (or equivalent)
Memory	8 GB RAM
Graphics	Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660
DirectX	Version 11
Network	Broadband Internet connection
Storage	12 GB available space

How to read the minimum tier: this is the floor for launching and playing at workable settings, not a promise of maxed visuals in a chaotic four-player physics storm. Integrated graphics below the GTX 1660 class are outside the published envelope. If you sit exactly on 8 GB RAM, close browser piles and overlays before co-op.

Recommended requirements (Steam)

Steam lists these recommended specs:

Component	Recommended
OS	Windows 11
Processor	Intel i5 10th gen (or equivalent)
Memory	16 GB RAM
Graphics	Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
DirectX	Version 11
Network	Broadband Internet connection
Storage	12 GB available space

How to read the recommended tier: aim here for smoother frame times when liquids, debris, lights, and multiple players collide. The storage number matches the minimum (12 GB)—budget extra free space for Windows pagefile, shader caches, and temporary demo installs. DirectX 11 appears on both tiers.

Network and co-op realities

Broadband is required on both Steam tiers because Cleaner Company is built around online co-op as well as solo play. A “playable” single-player machine can still disappoint teammates if upload bandwidth or Wi-Fi instability causes hitching. Prefer wired Ethernet for four-player sessions. If a friend is on the Epic demo and you are on Steam, confirm cross-store play status in the latest Release News or official Discord linked from the Links Hub—storefronts and builds can differ during the demo period.

Demo, playtest, and launch disk use

The free Flying Canteen demo and earlier playtest packages may be smaller than the final 12 GB budget, but you should still keep Steam’s full-game storage target free so you are ready for the 2026 release without a frantic SSD cleanup. Uninstall leftover playtest builds if disk pressure rises. Keep GPU drivers current (Game Ready / Adrenalin equivalent) before blaming the mop for stutter.

Performance tips for cleaning chaos

• Cap frame rate if uncapped FPS makes mouse feel inconsistent while tracing stains.
• Lower effects first when physics-heavy rooms hitch; particle spray and lighting often cost more than geometry.
• Background apps matter on 8 GB minimum machines—Discord overlay plus Chrome can push you into stutter.
• Thermals on thin laptops with “1660-equivalent” mobile GPUs may throttle mid-contract; elevate the chassis.
• Verify game files on Steam if a patch introduces hitching unique to your install.

Monsters can be disabled via difficulty for a lighter CPU/AI load and a calmer clean—useful on borderline hardware during long sessions.

Laptop and handheld notes

Steam Deck compatibility is listed as Unknown on the store page at the time of writing. Do not assume verified Deck play until Valve or Mythwright update that badge. Windows handhelds that meet GTX 1660 / RTX 3060 class performance targets (or better) should follow the same tables; still test the demo yourself.

Checklist before inviting friends

1. Compare your CPU/GPU to the tables above.
2. Confirm 12 GB+ free SSD space.
3. Update GPU drivers and reboot once.
4. Install the demo from Steam or Epic and complete a ten-minute Controls drill.
5. Run one solo clean, then one co-op clean, watching frame time—not just average FPS.
6. Skim Getting Started and Cleaning Equipment so performance problems are not confused with tool misuse.

Meet the Steam minimum to get in the door; chase the recommended tier if your crew’s physics disasters are part of the entertainment. Either way, keep 12 GB free, stay on broadband, and let the Star Wipers toolkit—not your pagefile—do the heavy lifting.
