Can I Run Holdfast: Nations at War?
Holdfast: Nations at War is an action indie game from Anvil Game Studios, released in 2020. Anvil Game Studios both developed and published it. The game supports competitive multiplayer. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. 20 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. 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. Its Steam review count passes 26 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It carries 38 achievements.

Why Holdfast: Nations at War is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Holdfast: Nations at War. Nvidia GTX 1060 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Holdfast: Nations at War within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. At 10 GB, system memory is undemanding. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Holdfast: Nations at War at the floor and Holdfast: Nations at War at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 22 GB. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Holdfast: Nations at War.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Holdfast: Nations at War?
Holdfast: Nations at War is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GT 1030 or Radeon RX 550, 8 GB RAM, about 22 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 | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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.
