Can I Run Awaken?

Released in 2026, Awaken is an action adventure game built by Hound13 Inc.. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Steam lists support for 11 languages. The game ships for Windows alone. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment

Awaken places its action in an anime styled world, and the player works through one continuous open world. There are 8 official screenshots to judge the look from. It is played in three dimensions. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Awaken has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.

Why Awaken is demanding

Awaken sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA Geforce RTX3060, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Awaken takes about 25 GB of disk space, SSD specified. DirectX 12 is named, so Awaken expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Awaken at the floor and Awaken 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 Awaken?

100%

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

Awaken 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 Awaken'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.
