Can I Run Areia?

Areia is an adventure indie game from Gilp Studio, released in 2020. Gilp Studio both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. 8 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It carries 12 achievements. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures.

Setting and environment

Play is built around spaces built for exploration. 6 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Areia has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.

Why Areia is demanding

The graphics requirement for Areia is light. Hardware around Geforce GTX 970/ AMD RX 480 is enough, so Areia runs on machines never bought for gaming. The install is small at roughly 4 GB. Areia needs 64 bit Windows. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Areia scales hard with the hardware you give it. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Areia?

100%

Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Areia is light on hardware. Its minimum, Geforce GTX 780 / Radeon R9 290X, 4 GB RAM, about 4 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Comfortable	1.98x
1440p	Borderline	1.11x
4K	Below the bar	0.49x

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 Areia'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.
