Have you checked your PC’s specifications?

Have you looked for the system requirements of the game you want to install?

Have you upgraded your PC for gaming?

Are you an avid gamer?

Before you can install online games, you need to check the hardware in your computers, such as the CPU, amount of RAM, and graphic card details. You can download an information tool to show you a summary of the following information you need.

Go to the website of the particular game you want to install. Pay attention to the processor, memory, and video card requirements. Know the basic requirements that would get the game going on your PC. Make sure your PC can meet the recommended specs, so you can decide if you can install the game or not.

Before installing online games on your PC, upgrade its specs first to ensure it can run games with outstanding graphics and gameplay.

If you prefer the automatic way over the manual, you can go to the “Can You RUN It” website and search for the game you want to install. If your PC can run it, you can download and install the game; otherwise, you might need better specs or another game.

Consider downloading a tool for comparing both the recommended and minimum specs of the game. One good tool for this is UserBenchmark. It will help you find out how enormous the gap between the game you're running and the suggested components are. This will determine if you should install the game not.

If you want to install games from Steam, make a Steam account and search for the game you want to install. Look for the system requirements and see if it matches your PC specs.

If you are an avid gamer and want to play with other players online, then you should consider installing online games on your PC to connect with your friends. Just make sure your PC has met the required specs for the gameplay.

If you are not a game player and are using your PC for work, you can try playing offline games instead during your leisure time to make sure you won’t be distracted from your work.
