Can I Run Coal Mining Simulator?
GamePlanet released Coal Mining Simulator in 2023. It is an adventure casual game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. It carries 165 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. It carries 19 achievements. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones.

Setting and environment
Coal Mining Simulator places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. 12 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Coal Mining Simulator can never assume the player will stop and let it load. The view is from a first person view.
Why Coal Mining Simulator is demanding
Coal Mining Simulator is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GTX 1060, RX 580 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Coal Mining Simulator. Coal Mining Simulator needs only 12 GB of RAM. Disk footprint is light, near 15 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Coal Mining Simulator scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Coal Mining Simulator?
Coal Mining Simulator is light on hardware. Its minimum, GTX 1050 Ti, RX 460, 8 GB RAM, about 11 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 | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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.
