Can I Run Hello Neighbor?
Released in 2017, Hello Neighbor is an adventure indie game built by Dynamic Pixels. Publishing duties went to tinyBuild. The game supports a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 25 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. At 9 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. 23 languages are covered by the store listing. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. There are 17 achievements to chase.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a horror setting, moving through an open sandbox. Play is presented from a first person view. That openness is what costs performance. Hello Neighbor has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. There are 7 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Hello Neighbor is demanding
The ask Hello Neighbor makes is moderate. GTX 1060 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The install is small at roughly 5 GB. Hello Neighbor calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Hello Neighbor at the floor and Hello Neighbor 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 Hello Neighbor?
Hello Neighbor is light on hardware. Its minimum, GTX 770 and up, 6 GB RAM, about 5 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 | 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.

Each card is compared against Hello Neighbor'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.
