Can I Run Evil Genius 2?
Rebellion released Evil Genius 2 in 2021. It is a simulation strategy game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Completionists have 90 achievements to work through. Its Steam review count passes 11 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Cloud saves are enabled. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam lists support for 9 languages.

Setting and environment
Evil Genius 2 places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through a base the player builds up. The publisher supplies 15 storefront screenshots of these environments. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours.
Why Evil Genius 2 is demanding
Demand in Evil Genius 2 is ordinary. The publisher has GeForce GTX 1660 Super in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Evil Genius 2 needs only 8 GB of RAM. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Evil Genius 2 at the floor and Evil Genius 2 at the recommended tier are not the same experience. At only 6 GB of VRAM, memory capacity is not what limits Evil Genius 2. The chip itself is. The install is small at roughly 18 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Evil Genius 2?
Evil Genius 2 is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GT 1030 2GB, Radeon RX 550 2GB, 8 GB RAM, about 18 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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 Evil Genius 2'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.
