Transport Fever 3 System Requirements: Can Your PC Run It?

The official requirements

These figures come from the official Steam store page, checked on 28 October 2026.

Mac and Linux versions exist through Steam; Intel Macs are not supported.

Every CPU must support AVX2

The single most important requirement is easy to miss: every supported processor must support AVX2, and older chips without it cannot run the game at all.

• On Steam, open Help → System Information and read the processor features line. Look for AVX2 specifically, not just AVX.
• No software switch, compatibility mode or reinstall removes this requirement.
• If your CPU passes AVX2 but the game still will not start, follow our launch troubleshooting guide instead.

Storage: 90 GB on an SSD

The store page lists 90 GB and states an SSD is required. A mechanical drive is not a supported configuration, and long loading times are one of the most common launch-week complaints.

Laptops and the dedicated GPU

If your laptop has integrated graphics plus a dedicated card, make sure the game uses the dedicated GPU: Windows Settings → Display → Graphics → add the game’s executable and choose High performance. Running on the integrated GPU is a common cause of the performance complaints in early Steam reviews.

After you meet the requirements

Meeting the minimum does not guarantee smooth late-game performance: bigger maps, higher population and dense networks all load the processor, and population is fixed when you create a save. If the game runs but stutters as your network grows, see our low FPS and stuttering guide.
