Can I Run Colt Canyon?

Released in 2020, Colt Canyon is an action casual game built by Retrific. Publishing duties went to Headup. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It carries 40 achievements. Cloud saves are enabled. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand.

Setting and environment

The game is set in the old west. Play is structured around runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. Play is presented from a top down view. Because the game assembles its spaces as it goes, the cost lands on the CPU in bursts rather than steadily on the GPU. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.

Why Colt Canyon is demanding

Colt Canyon barely touches the GPU. Its stated Any dedicated GPU target is below anything currently sold. Colt Canyon needs 64 bit Windows. Colt Canyon needs only 3 GB of RAM. Colt Canyon takes about 1 GB of disk space.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Colt Canyon?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the processor is the tightest fit.

Colt Canyon is light on hardware. Its minimum, Intel HD Graphics, 2 GB RAM, about 0.49 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.

Projected by resolution

4KComfortable12.14x

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.
