Can I Run Beyond Blue?
Released in 2020, Beyond Blue is an adventure casual game built by E-Line Media. The game supports a single player campaign. Its Metacritic score stands at 72. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. The game ships for Windows alone. Completionists have 30 achievements to work through. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in submerged environments, moving through spaces built for exploration. It is played from a third person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Beyond Blue has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. There are 20 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Beyond Blue is demanding
Beyond Blue is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 730 or AMD R9 270 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Beyond Blue. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The install is small at roughly 10 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Beyond Blue?
Beyond Blue is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 730 or AMD R9 270, 8 GB RAM, about 10 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.7x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.08x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.92x |
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 Beyond Blue'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.
