Can I Run Code Vein?
Released in 2019, Code Vein is an action role playing game built by Bandai Namco Studios. Publishing duties went to Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Over 45 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. There are 43 achievements to chase. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. Critics scored it 72 on Metacritic. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an anime styled world, moving through interlocking areas that reward learning the route. The publisher supplies 11 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a third person view.
Why Code Vein is demanding
Code Vein is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 380X target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Code Vein. Code Vein needs only 8 GB of RAM. Code Vein takes about 35 GB of disk space. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Code Vein at the floor and Code Vein 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 Code Vein?
Older hardware holds up here: Code Vein runs on modest graphics, with GeForce GTX 760 or Radeon HD 7850 enough to meet the minimum. Add 6 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.83x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.59x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.71x |
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 Code Vein'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.
