Can I Run Butterfly?
KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD. released Butterfly in 2026. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Cloud saves are enabled. There are 51 achievements to chase. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. With more than 2 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing.

Why Butterfly is demanding
Demand in Butterfly is ordinary. The publisher has GeForce RTX 2060 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Butterfly takes about 30 GB of disk space, SSD specified. DirectX 12 is named, so Butterfly expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Butterfly expects 16 GB of system memory. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Butterfly.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Butterfly?
Butterfly is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, GeForce RTX 1050 Ti 4GB, Radeon R9 380X 4GB or higher clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
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 Butterfly'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.
