Can I Run Ato?

Ato is an action adventure game from Mundfish, released in 2023. Focus Entertainment published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Critics scored it 76 on Metacritic. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. With more than 37 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. The game ships for Windows alone. It carries 82 achievements. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment

Ato places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 27 storefront screenshots of these environments. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Ato can never assume the player will stop and let it load. It is played from a first person view.

Why Ato is demanding

Ato sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting 8 GB VRAM, AMD RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The install is small at roughly 90 GB, on an SSD. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Ato at the floor and Ato at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Ato calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough.

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

Can you run Ato?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: Ato runs on modest graphics, with 4 GB VRAM, AMD Radeon R9 380 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Large install. Ato needs about 90 GB of HDD of free storage.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pBorderline1.03x
1440pBelow the bar0.58x
4KBelow the bar0.26x

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 Ato'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.
