Can I Run Arrow?
Steel Balalaika released Arrow in 2025. It is a strategy game, published by Slitherine Ltd.. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Over 28 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Cloud saves are enabled. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. There are 67 achievements to chase. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation.

Setting and environment
Arrow places its action in a wartime setting, and the player works through tight tactical maps. The view is in three dimensions. There are 20 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Arrow is demanding
Arrow is a heavy title. Its GeForce RTX 3080 ( target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Arrow properly. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Arrow at the floor and Arrow at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 85 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Arrow?
Arrow is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a GeForce RTX 3080 (10240 MB) / Radeon RX 6800 XT (16384 MB)-class graphics card, with GeForce GTX 1650 (4096 MB) / Radeon RX 570 (4096 MB) the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Arrow needs about 85 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.64x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.36x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.16x |
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 Arrow'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.
