Can I Run EXIST?

Released in 2019, EXIST is an action game built by Three Rings Inc.. Publishing duties went to BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. With more than 2 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Its 7 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Steam lists support for 10 languages. There are 39 achievements to chase. Cloud saves are enabled. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. The game ships for Windows alone. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment

EXIST places its action in an anime styled world, and the player works through one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a third person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and EXIST has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.

Why EXIST is demanding

EXIST is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GeForce GTX 770 or Radeon R9 290 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear EXIST. Disk footprint is light, near 15 GB. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.

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

Can you run EXIST?

100%

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

EXIST is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 1050 or Radeon HD 7870, 6 GB RAM, about 15 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	Comfortable	3.27x
1440p	Comfortable	1.84x
4K	Below the bar	0.82x

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 EXIST'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.
