Can I Run Beyond Mankind?

Beyond Mankind is an action adventure game from Brytenwalda, released in 2021. Brytenwalda both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It carries 20 achievements. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. It is not Windows only, with Linux covered too.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in a world after its collapse, moving through spaces built for exploration. Play is presented from a first person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Beyond Mankind can never assume the player will stop and let it load. 13 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.

Why Beyond Mankind is demanding

The graphics requirement for Beyond Mankind is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 / AMD Radeon RX 470/570 is enough, so Beyond Mankind runs on machines never bought for gaming. Beyond Mankind needs 64 bit Windows. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The install is small at roughly 19 GB.

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

Can you run Beyond Mankind?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Beyond Mankind targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7800-serie and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 780 / AMD Radeon RX 470/570 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.7x
1440pRuns well1.52x
4KBelow the bar0.67x

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.
