Can I Run Grime?
Released in 2026, Grime is an action indie game built by Clover Bite. Publishing duties went to Kwalee. The game supports a single player campaign. It carries 40 achievements. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. With more than 1 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Setting and environment
Grime places its action in a fantasy world, and the player works through an interconnected map that opens up as you gain abilities. 6 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Grime is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Grime. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon R9 720X scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Grime within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Grime needs 64 bit Windows. Disk footprint is light, near 20 GB on an SSD. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Grime at the floor and Grime 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 Grime?
Grime is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 / AMD Radeon RX 550, 8 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 | 3.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.84x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.82x |
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.
