Can I Run Alive?
Released in 2026, Alive is an action game built by KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD.. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. It carries 491 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. The game ships for Windows alone. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. There are 37 achievements to chase. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a gentle, brightly drawn world. Play is structured around one on one arenas. It is played in three dimensions. There are 7 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Alive is demanding
Demand in Alive is ordinary. The publisher has GeForce GTX 1070 (VRAM in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. DirectX 12 is named, so Alive expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Alive expects 16 GB of system memory. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Alive at the floor and Alive at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Disk footprint is light, near 80 GB on an SSD.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Alive?
Alive targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 1060 (VRAM 6GB) or higher, Radeon RX 590 (VRAM 8GB) or higher and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 1070 (VRAM 8GB) or higher, Radeon RX 5700 XT (VRAM 8GB) or higher for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Alive needs about 80 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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.

Each card is compared against Alive's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
