Can I Run Colony Survival?
Pipliz released Colony Survival in 2017. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. There are 50 achievements to chase. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Its Steam review count passes 8 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Colony Survival places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through a settlement the player grows. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one. There are 24 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Colony Survival is demanding
Graphics requirements for Colony Survival are minimal, with Nvidia GTX 750 named as the bar. Colony Survival needs 64 bit Windows. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 2 GB. Colony Survival takes about 1 GB of disk space. System memory expectations are modest at 4 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Colony Survival?
Colony Survival targets a mainstream modern PC: Intel HD Graphics 5000, 1280x720 display and 2 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia GTX 750 or equivalent, 2 GB VRAM, 1920x1080 display for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 6.54x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 3.68x |
| 4K | Comfortable | 1.63x |
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 Colony Survival'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.
