Can I Run Age of Wonders: Planetfall?
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a strategy game from Triumph Studios, released in 2019. Paradox Interactive published it. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS. There are 80 achievements to chase. Over 4 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Critics scored it 81 on Metacritic. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing.

Why Age of Wonders: Planetfall is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Age of Wonders: Planetfall. nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Age of Wonders: Planetfall within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Age of Wonders: Planetfall needs only 3 GB of video memory. The install is small at roughly 20 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Age of Wonders: Planetfall needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Age of Wonders: Planetfall?
Age of Wonders: Planetfall targets a mainstream modern PC: nVidia GTX 650Ti 1GB or AMD Radeon HD 7770 (or equivalents) and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB (or equivalents) for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.07x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.17x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.52x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
