Cross-checked from reproductions of Blizzard's official World of Warcraft: Midnight support article (as mirrored by MMO-Champion and spec databases). Midnight notably raises the baseline for a WoW expansion: an SSD is now mandatory, minimum RAM is 8 GB (16 GB recommended), and the graphics floor is a DirectX 12-capable 4 GB GPU. The recommended tier targets modern high-end hardware for the expansion's new Void lighting effects.
