System / Device Requirements

NetEase’s launch guidance provides a practical mobile baseline. Android players are advised to use Snapdragon 835 / Dimensity 700-class hardware or better, while Apple support begins with iPhone 7 or newer.

The official launch guidance also calls for roughly 15 GB of free storage on either mobile platform. The App Store package itself can be smaller because additional game data is downloaded after installation, so the free-space figure is the safer planning number.
