Can I Run Avorion?
Boxelware released Avorion in 2020. It is an action indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Steam lists support for 9 languages. Completionists have 68 achievements to work through. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. With more than 12 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an open sandbox. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. The publisher supplies 17 storefront screenshots of these environments. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Avorion has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The view is in three dimensions.
Why Avorion is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Avorion. NVidia Geforce 1050 / Radeon RX 460 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Avorion within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Avorion takes about 3 GB of disk space. At 6 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 Avorion?
Avorion targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia Geforce 550 or equivalent (full OpenGL 3.0 support required) and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVidia Geforce 1050 / Radeon RX 460 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
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 Avorion'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.
