Can I Run Cricket 22?
Released in 2021, Cricket 22 is a simulation sports game built by Big Ant Studios. Publishing duties went to Nacon. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. There are 30 achievements to chase. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. With more than 1 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. The game ships for Windows alone. Cloud saves are enabled. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a horror setting, moving through systems the player balances from above. It is played in three dimensions. 13 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours.
Why Cricket 22 is demanding
The ask Cricket 22 makes is moderate. AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT / NVIDIA RTX 2060 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Cricket 22 takes about 45 GB of disk space. At only 2 GB of VRAM, memory capacity is not what limits Cricket 22. The chip itself is. Cricket 22 expects 16 GB of system memory. Cricket 22 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Cricket 22?
Cricket 22 targets a mainstream modern PC: AMD Radeon R7 260 / NVIDIA GTX 650Ti or equivalent, minimum 2GB VRAM and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT / NVIDIA RTX 2060 or higher 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 | 1.79x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.01x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.45x |
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 Cricket 22'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.
