Can I Run Beyond: Two Souls?
Released in 2020, Beyond: Two Souls is an action adventure game built by Quantic Dream. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Cloud saves are enabled. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Steam lists support for 23 languages. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. Over 35 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Completionists have 45 achievements to work through. Critics scored it 76 on Metacritic.

Why Beyond: Two Souls is demanding
The graphics requirement for Beyond: Two Souls is light. Hardware around Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 is enough, so Beyond: Two Souls runs on machines never bought for gaming. Disk footprint is light, near 49 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Beyond: Two Souls needs only 4 GB of video memory.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Beyond: Two Souls?
Beyond: Two Souls targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 with 2GB VRAM or AMD Radeon HD 7870 with 2GB VRAM and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 with 4GB VRAM or AMD Radeon R9 390 with 4GB VRAM 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 | Comfortable | 2.18x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.23x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.54x |
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: Two Souls'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.
