Can I Run Forest Grove?
Released in 2023, Forest Grove is an adventure indie game built by Miga Games. Publishing duties went to Blowfish Studios. The game supports a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. There are 12 achievements to chase.

Setting and environment
Forest Grove places its action in an investigation, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. 17 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Forest Grove can never assume the player will stop and let it load. Play is presented from a first person view.
Why Forest Grove is demanding
Forest Grove sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. DirectX 12 is named, so Forest Grove expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The install is small at roughly 6 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Forest Grove at the floor and Forest Grove at the recommended tier are not the same experience. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Forest Grove?
Forest Grove is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 670 / GeForce GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon HD 7870, 4 GB RAM, about 6 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 | 1.28x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.72x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.32x |
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 Forest Grove'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.
