Can I Run Headquarters: World War II?
Headquarters: World War II is a simulation strategy game from Starni Games, released in 2024. Slitherine Ltd. published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Cloud saves are enabled. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. It carries 102 achievements. It carries 504 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Steam lists support for 8 languages.

Why Headquarters: World War II is demanding
The ask Headquarters: World War II makes is moderate. Geforce GTX 1060 ( lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Headquarters: World War II at the floor and Headquarters: World War II at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Headquarters: World War II takes about 35 GB of disk space. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 6 GB, so on Headquarters: World War II the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Headquarters: World War II?
Older hardware holds up here: Headquarters: World War II runs on modest graphics, with Geforce GTX 950 (2GB VRAM) enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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.
