Can I Run Cellula?

Released in 2026, Cellula is a casual indie game built by Patrick Gallaway. Publishing duties went to Pontius Pilates Publishing. The game supports a single player campaign. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation.

Setting and environment

Cellula structures its play around a settlement the player grows. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments. The load here grows with the save. An empty map tells you very little about how the machine will cope once the build is large. The view is from a top down view.

Why Cellula is demanding

Cellula is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 ( target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Cellula. Cellula needs only 4 GB of video memory. The install is small at roughly 2 GB. Cellula needs only 8 GB of RAM.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Cellula?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Cellula is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (4GB) or AMD Radeon R9 380, 8 GB RAM, about 2 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

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable3.04x
1440pComfortable1.71x
4KBelow the bar0.76x

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 Cellula'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.
