Can I Run Curved Space?
Released in 2021, Curved Space is an action indie game built by Only By Midnight Ltd.. Publishing duties went to Maximum Games. The game supports a single player campaign. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Completionists have 57 achievements to work through. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Steam lists support for 12 languages. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand.

Setting and environment
Curved Space places its action in space and the vessels that cross it, and the player works through enclosed arenas. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played from a third person view.
Why Curved Space is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Curved Space. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / ATI Radeon R9 series scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Curved Space within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The install is small at roughly 2 GB. Curved Space needs 64 bit Windows. At 6 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Curved Space?
Curved Space targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GT @ 1 GB / ATI® Radeon™ HD 2900 @ 1 GB or better and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 970 / ATI Radeon™ R9 series 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 | 3.7x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.08x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.92x |
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.
