Can I Run CAT Interstellar?
CAT Interstellar is an action adventure game from Ionized Games, released in 2017. Ionized Games both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Completionists have 18 achievements to work through. Alongside Windows it also ships for Linux. Its 9 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. With only 693 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a cyberpunk future, moving through spaces built for exploration. That openness is what costs performance. CAT Interstellar has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. There are 8 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a third person view.
Why CAT Interstellar is demanding
CAT Interstellar is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Nividia GTX 970 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear CAT Interstellar. System memory expectations are modest at 2 GB. Disk footprint is light, near 5 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so CAT Interstellar at the floor and CAT Interstellar 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 CAT Interstellar?
CAT Interstellar is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GTX 750, 2 GB RAM, about 5 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 | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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.
