Can I Run Bo?
Bo is an action adventure game from Gearbox Software, released in 2025. 2K published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Steam lists support for 14 languages. Its Metacritic score stands at 81. With more than 56 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. There are 52 achievements to chase.

Setting and environment
Bo places its action in a science fiction setting, and the player works through one continuous open world. That openness is what costs performance. Bo has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. It is played from a first person view. There are 17 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Bo is demanding
Bo is a heavy title. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Intel Arc B580 target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Bo properly. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out. Bo wants about 100 GB of disk space on an SSD, which is a real consideration on a smaller drive. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Bo. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Bo at the floor and Bo at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Bo?
Bo is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Intel Arc B580-class graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A580 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: RAM
Borderline on RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. If you are buying today, plan a modest upgrade to system RAM to be comfortable, otherwise it is worth waiting for a better price or a stronger build.
Large install. Bo needs about 100 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.64x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.36x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.16x |
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 Bo'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.
