Some of the best video games for low-end and basic PCs! #1 PC Hardware & Tech Reviews 2025
Currently, in 2022, there is no such thing as a Low End PC. All the PCs that we build for basic tasks under 25 thousand are called Low End PCs in the gaming world. Remember that to play games, whether new or old, you will definitely need a graphics card in your PC. The games that you can run on a PC with 4GB RAM with a graphics card, you will need 8GB RAM to run those games on a PC without graphics or with an internal GPU.
Even though the image above is a meme, running GT1030 is much better than running any GPU or internal GPU in this build, it doesn’t mean that Kana uncle is better than uncle! Today I have brought a list of some of the best games for Low End PC. I didn’t get time to write in detail because it is given in list form, but you can know about many games in list form.
Note:
All the games on today’s list are supposed to run on Windows 10 with 4/6 GB RAM. But of course, your system, even if it’s old, must have a dedicated GPU. I can’t say anything about running the games on the internal GPU. But just because you don’t want to try them again on a 3rd generation dual core!
