Lethal Company system requirements and download size
Steam publishes only minimum requirements for Lethal Company; the recommended block repeats the 64-bit line and nothing else.
| Component | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10, 64-bit processor and operating system required |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz; Shader Model 5 |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 |
| DirectX | Version 11 |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection |
| Storage | 4 GB available space |
Windows 11 is 64-bit only, so any Windows 11 PC clears the operating system line. A Windows 10 PC must be running the 64-bit edition.
Can you download Lethal Company on Mac?
No. Steam lists no Mac build of Lethal Company, so a Mac can only play it by streaming from a Windows PC that owns the game and runs Steam. Valve's Steam Link app is available for macOS from the App Store, and Steam Remote Play is built to reach natively unsupported operating systems from a gaming PC. The Windows PC still does the work, so it has to be on and signed in to Steam.
Play Lethal Company on iPhone and Android with Steam Link
There is no Lethal Company app for iPhone, iPad or Android. Valve's Steam Link app streams the game from a computer running Steam to the phone, with an MFi or Steam controller paired on iPhone or a Bluetooth controller on Android.
- Steam Link for iPhone and iPad (App Store) (58.6 MB): Free, iOS 11.0 or higher, PC on the same local network
- Steam Link for Android (Google Play): Free, Android 5.0 or higher, pair a Bluetooth controller
Steam lists Lethal Company with Partial Controller Support, not full support, so check that the controls you need respond before relying on a controller alone.
Valve recommends connecting the PC to the router with Ethernet and keeping the phone on the 5GHz band of the Wi-Fi network for the smoothest stream.
How to update Lethal Company and read the patch notes
- Leave Steam signed in on the PC; Steam downloads Lethal Company updates automatically.
- Open the Lethal Company store page and select View update history to read the latest patch notes.
- Launch the game from your Steam library; reaching the main menu confirms the install works.
Fix Lethal Company not downloading or installing
Lethal Company will not run on a 32-bit Windows 10 PC
Steam requires a 64-bit processor and operating system for Lethal Company.
- Select Start, then Settings > System > About.
- Read System type under Device specifications.
- If it shows a 32-bit operating system, moving to 64-bit Windows means reformatting the drive, installing 64-bit Windows and reinstalling everything else.
The download stops because the drive is full
Lethal Company needs 4 GB available space on the drive Steam installs to.
- Free at least 4 GB on the target drive by removing files or games you no longer need.
- Return to your Steam library and start the Lethal Company install again.
Steam Link cannot find the PC running Lethal Company
The iPhone or iPad version of Steam Link needs the phone and the PC on the same local network.
- Make sure Steam is open and signed in on the Windows PC.
- Connect the phone to the same Wi-Fi network as the PC, on the 5GHz band.
- Connect the PC to the router with Ethernet, then open Steam Link and connect to the computer again.
The PC cannot run Lethal Company after buying it
The hardware is below the minimum requirements, which Steam accepts as a refund reason.
- Stop playing before two hours of playtime, because Early Access playtime counts against the limit.
- Go to help.steampowered.com within two weeks of purchase and request a refund for Lethal Company.
- Expect the refund within a week of approval, to the original payment method or the Steam Wallet.
