Can I Run Grounded?
Released in 2022, Grounded is an action adventure game built by Obsidian Entertainment. Publishing duties went to Xbox Game Studios. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Critics scored it 83 on Metacritic. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It is localised into 16 languages according to the store listing. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Completionists have 45 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Its Steam review count passes 75 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Grounded places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through hostile territory. 18 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Play is presented from a first person view.
Why Grounded is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Grounded. GeForce GTX 1060 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Grounded within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Grounded. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 6 GB. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The install is small at roughly 8 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Grounded?
Grounded targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia GTX 650 Ti and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 470 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears 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 Grounded'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.
