When launching on Steam I need to specify minimum system requirements.

The ones listed for AppGameKit look a bit old and I wonder if that's enough for my game?
But the storage is specified as 2GB which should be way above what my game needs. It would be enough to list the size of the complete folder right?
According to the latest update "Windows apps no longer require the DirectX End-User Runtime to be installed", so should I skip the DX requirement?

These from AGKs Steam page:
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows XP SP2 or better
Processor: Intel Celeron / Athlon Sempron or better
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Graphics: Open GL 2.0 compatible or better
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 2 GB available space
Sound Card: N/A

RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7 or better
Processor: Intel Core 2 / Athlon 2 X2 or better
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 470GTX Titan / ATI Radeon 5850 or better
Storage: 2 GB available space
Sound Card: N/A

We need to know this too for our upcoming release - can anyone from TGC confirm the minimum and recommended system requirements for an AppGameKit game please?

Many thanks.

It runs on a Raspberry Pi, the required specs will start off very low depending on what your game is doing.

The minimum requirements are still correct. We use OpenGL for graphics but DirectX is still used for audio and controller input, so 9.0c is still required. The DirectX end-user runtime was in addition to this and is not required. If your game is graphically intensive then you may want to bump up the minimum specs based on what will run it well. The 2GB space is for the AppGameKit editor, examples, and Tier 2 files. For your game you can list how much space your game uses, plus how much it will need for saved games etc, plus a little extra just to be safe.
