Can I Run Goat Simulator 3?
Goat Simulator 3 is an adventure casual game from Coffee Stain North, released in 2024. Coffee Stain Publishing published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. There are 64 achievements to chase. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. Over 13 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through spaces built for exploration. Play is presented in three dimensions. The publisher supplies 12 storefront screenshots of these environments. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Goat Simulator 3 has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Goat Simulator 3 is demanding
The ask Goat Simulator 3 makes is moderate. GTX 1070 ( lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The 8 GB VRAM figure quietly excludes a lot of 6 GB hardware that would otherwise cope. The install is small at roughly 12 GB. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Goat Simulator 3 at the floor and Goat Simulator 3 at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Goat Simulator 3?
Goat Simulator 3 is light on hardware. Its minimum, GTX 1050 Ti (4GB VRAM), 8 GB RAM, about 12 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 | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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 Goat Simulator 3'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.
