What are the Minimum Recommended Requirements?
OnLive games are played through the Internet from an OnLive game data center. Currently all OnLive games are HD resolution. The Minimum Recommended Requirements are:
- PC: Windows® 7 or Vista (32 or 64-bit) or XP (32-bit)
- Mac: Mac OS X 10.6 or later
- Processor: Dual-core CPU
- Screen Resolution: 1280x720
- Internet Connection: 5 Mbps located inside the contiguous United States (wired connection required)
Although OnLive has found that most computers with at least a 5 Mbps wired residential Internet connection are sufficient for HD-resolution, many factors affect network quality and computer performance, including other applications using computer resources, and other users sharing your network. Currently, the OnLive Game Service does not allow access to users outside of the contiguous United States.
What type of Internet connection and computer do I need to use the OnLive Game Service?
OnLive recommends a wired 5 Mbps connection to the Internet (Wi-Fi is not supported at this time). When you sign in, OnLive runs an analysis of the performance of your Internet connection and the configuration of your computer. If any issues are found, you will be alerted and given an option to continue, although your gameplay experience may not be optimal. OnLive may not connect if it detects the computer performance or connection quality is below what is needed to play HDTV-resolution games.
