Can I Run Cions of Vega?
Released in 2021, Cions of Vega is an adventure indie game built by Tonguç Bodur. It offers a single player campaign. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Completionists have 7 achievements to work through. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a mystery to unpick. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. 14 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played from a first person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Cions of Vega can never assume the player will stop and let it load.
Why Cions of Vega is demanding
The ask Cions of Vega makes is moderate. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD RADEON RX 5700 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Cions of Vega needs only 8 GB of RAM. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Cions of Vega scales hard with the hardware you give it. The install is small at roughly 7 GB, on an SSD. Cions of Vega calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Cions of Vega?
Cions of Vega is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GTX 780 or AMD RADEON RX 470, 6 GB RAM, about 6.7 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 | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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.
