Can I Run AWA?

AWA is an action adventure game from Hound13 Inc., released in 2026. Hound13 Inc. both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. The game ships for Windows alone. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.

Setting and environment

The game is set in an anime styled world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and AWA has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented in three dimensions.

Why AWA is demanding

Demand in AWA is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA Geforce RTX3060 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. AWA takes about 25 GB of disk space, SSD specified. AWA expects 16 GB of system memory. DirectX 12 is named, so AWA expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so AWA at the floor and AWA at the recommended tier are not the same experience.

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

Can you run AWA?

100%

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

AWA targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA Geforce GTX1660 and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA Geforce RTX3060 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	Borderline	1x
1440p	Below the bar	0.56x
4K	Below the bar	0.25x

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 AWA'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.
