Can I Run Flow?

Released in 2026, Flow is a casual indie game built by UncannyKiwi Limited. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. It carries 12 achievements. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. Over 3 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.

Setting and environment

Flow structures its play around spaces built for exploration. 11 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Flow has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. Play is presented in three dimensions.

Why Flow is demanding

Very little is asked of the GPU by Flow. NVIDIA GTX 1650 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Flow within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Disk footprint is light, near 20 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Flow scales hard with the hardware you give it. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has.

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

Can you run Flow?

100%

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

Flow is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GTX 960, 4 GB RAM, about 20 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	2.24x
1440p	Runs well	1.26x
4K	Below the bar	0.56x

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 Flow'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.
