Can I Run Humankind?
Humankind is an action adventure game from Panache Digital Games, released in 2020. Private Division published it. The game supports a single player campaign. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Cloud saves are enabled. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. Its Steam review count passes 9 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. There are 13 achievements to chase. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in natural landscapes, moving through hostile territory. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented from a third person view.
Why Humankind is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Humankind. GeForce GTX 980 ( scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Humankind within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Humankind scales hard with the hardware you give it. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Humankind?
Humankind is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 760 (4GB) or Radeon HD 7950 (3GB), 8 GB RAM, 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 | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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 Humankind'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.
