Can I Run Anno 2070?
Released in 2011, Anno 2070 is a strategy game built by Blue Byte. Publishing duties went to Ubisoft. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. 8 languages are covered by the store listing. Over 11 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Critics scored it 83 on Metacritic.

Setting and environment
Anno 2070 places its action in a science fiction setting, and the player works through a city the player lays out. The publisher supplies 16 storefront screenshots of these environments. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one.
Why Anno 2070 is demanding
Anno 2070 needs only 2 GB of RAM. It targets DirectX 9, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy. Anno 2070 needs 64 bit Windows. The install is small at roughly 5 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
