Can I Run ASTRA?
ASTRA is an indie simulation game from Nebule Games, released in 2026. Nebule Games both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. The game ships for Windows alone. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy.

Setting and environment
ASTRA places its action in a wartime setting, and the player works through a map at national or global scale. The view is from a top down view. The publisher supplies 11 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why ASTRA is demanding
ASTRA is a heavy title. Its 8GB+ VRAM (Nvidia® RTX® 3070 or AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800) target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running ASTRA properly. ASTRA needs 64 bit Windows. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means ASTRA scales hard with the hardware you give it. ASTRA takes about 30 GB of disk space, SSD specified. ASTRA calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run ASTRA?
ASTRA is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a 8GB+ VRAM (Nvidia® RTX® 3070 or AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800)-class graphics card, with 6GB+ VRAM (NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 or AMD® Radeon™ RX-580) the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: RAM
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Playable |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Runs well |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Runs well |
Each card is compared against ASTRA'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.
