Can I Run Citystate?
Released in 2026, Citystate is a simulation strategy game built by Andy Sztark. The game supports a single player campaign. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an open sandbox. Play is structured around a city the player lays out. 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. There are 23 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Citystate is demanding
Demand in Citystate is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA RTX 3060ti ( in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Citystate names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first. Disk footprint is light, near 10 GB. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Citystate at the floor and Citystate 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 Citystate?
Citystate is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) / AMD RX 5600XT (6GB) 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 | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.54x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.24x |
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 Citystate'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.
