Can I Run Awakening?
Released in 2026, Awakening is an action adventure game built by Hound13 Inc.. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an anime styled world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. 8 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played in three dimensions. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Awakening has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Awakening is demanding
Demand in Awakening is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA Geforce RTX3060 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Disk footprint is light, near 25 GB on an SSD. Awakening calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Awakening scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Awakening?
Awakening 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 Awakening'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.
