Can I Run FIRST?
IO Interactive A/S released FIRST in 2026. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. It is localised into 14 languages according to the store listing. Critics scored it 84 on Metacritic. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. With more than 29 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It carries 37 achievements.

Setting and environment
FIRST structures its play around spaces built to be avoided rather than cleared. The view is from a third person view. There are 14 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why FIRST is demanding
FIRST asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060 TI, AMD RX 6700 XT, INTEL DISCRETE GPU EQUIVALENT, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so FIRST tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so FIRST at the floor and FIRST at the recommended tier are not the same experience. FIRST needs 64 bit Windows. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The install is small at roughly 80 GB, on an SSD.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run FIRST?
FIRST is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA GFORCE GTX 1660, AMD RX 5700, INTEL DISCRETE GPU EQUIVALENT clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. FIRST needs about 80 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.83x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.47x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.21x |
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.
Common GPUs

Each card is compared against FIRST'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.
