Can I Run BUS SIMULATOR?
Released in 2026, BUS SIMULATOR is a simulation game built by Simteract. Publishing duties went to astragon Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. 8 languages are covered by the store listing. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an open sandbox. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. It is played from a third person view. The publisher supplies 16 storefront screenshots of these environments. That openness is what costs performance. BUS SIMULATOR has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves.
Why BUS SIMULATOR is demanding
BUS SIMULATOR asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets Nvidia GTX 3080Ti, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so BUS SIMULATOR tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. BUS SIMULATOR calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means BUS SIMULATOR scales hard with the hardware you give it. BUS SIMULATOR takes about 50 GB of disk space. BUS SIMULATOR asks for 32 GB of system RAM, which is above what most machines ship with today. BUS SIMULATOR needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run BUS SIMULATOR?
BUS SIMULATOR is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a Nvidia GTX 3080Ti 12GB / AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB-class graphics card, with Nvidia GTX 1070 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 5700 8Gb 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.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.59x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.33x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.15x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |
|---|---|
| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Playable |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Playable |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Playable |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Playable |
Each card is compared against BUS SIMULATOR'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.
