Can I Run Biomutant?
Biomutant is an action role playing game from Experiment 101, released in 2021. THQ Nordic published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Its Steam review count passes 13 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Critics scored it 66 on Metacritic. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Completionists have 46 achievements to work through. Steam lists support for 14 languages. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a world after its collapse. Play is structured around one continuous open world. There are 20 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a third person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Biomutant has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Biomutant is demanding
Biomutant sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting 6 GB Direct3D 11 capable video card - GeForce GTX 1660Ti or Radeon RX 590, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Biomutant needs 64 bit Windows. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Biomutant at the floor and Biomutant at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Biomutant expects 16 GB of system memory. Biomutant takes about 25 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Biomutant?
Biomutant is light on hardware. Its minimum, 4 GB Direct3D 11 capable video card - GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 380, 8 GB RAM, about 25 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 | 1.73x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.98x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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 Biomutant'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.
