Can I Run Company of Heroes?
Relic Entertainment released Company of Heroes in 2023. It is an action strategy game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. An age check at 18 sits in front of the store page. There are 24 achievements to chase. The game ships for Windows alone. Critics scored it 81 on Metacritic. Over 23 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. It is localised into 15 languages according to the store listing.

Why Company of Heroes is demanding
Demand in Company of Heroes is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5600 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Company of Heroes scales hard with the hardware you give it. Company of Heroes needs 64 bit Windows. Company of Heroes takes about 40 GB of disk space. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. DirectX 12 is named, so Company of Heroes expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Company of Heroes?
Older hardware holds up here: Company of Heroes runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950, AMD Radeon R9 370, or equivalent performance enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 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 | Runs well | 1.42x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.8x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.35x |
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.
