Can I Run Farthest Frontier?
Farthest Frontier is an indie simulation game from Crate Entertainment, released in 2025. Crate Entertainment both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Steam lists support for 15 languages. Its Steam review count passes 23 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. There are 74 achievements to chase. Critics scored it 83 on Metacritic.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a medieval setting. Play is structured around a city the player lays out. The view is from a top down view. 28 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. The load here grows with the save. An empty map tells you very little about how the machine will cope once the build is large.
Why Farthest Frontier is demanding
The ask Farthest Frontier makes is moderate. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 | AMD RX 590 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Farthest Frontier expects 16 GB of system memory. Disk footprint is light, near 11 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Farthest Frontier scales hard with the hardware you give it. Farthest Frontier names just 4 GB of video memory, so the bottleneck sits in raw GPU throughput rather than VRAM. 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 Farthest Frontier?
Farthest Frontier is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 | AMD R9 290, with 3 GB VRAM or better, 8 GB RAM, about 11 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 | 1.73x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.98x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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 Farthest Frontier'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.
