Can I Run Highrise City?
Highrise City is a simulation strategy game from Fourexo Entertainment, released in 2023. Deck13 published it. The game supports a single player campaign. With more than 1 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. It is localised into 14 languages according to the store listing. It carries 47 achievements.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an open sandbox. Play is structured around a city the player lays out. It is played in three dimensions. The publisher supplies 12 storefront screenshots of these environments. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one.
Why Highrise City is demanding
Highrise City sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting GeForce GTX 1080 Ti / Radeon RX 5700 XT, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The install is small at roughly 25 GB. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Highrise City?
Highrise City is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, GeForce GTX 760 Ti clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: RAM
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 0.97x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.55x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.24x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Playable |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Runs great |

| RX 6600 8 GB | Runs well |
Each card is compared against Highrise City'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.
