Can I Run Junkyard Simulator?
Junkyard Simulator is an indie simulation game from Rebelia Games, released in 2021. PlayWay S.A. published it. It offers a single player campaign. With more than 2 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. Completionists have 57 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
Junkyard Simulator places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through one continuous open world. The view is from a first person view. That openness is what costs performance. Junkyard Simulator has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. 46 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Junkyard Simulator is demanding
Junkyard Simulator sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVidia GeForce GTX 1070, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Junkyard Simulator takes about 14 GB of disk space. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Junkyard Simulator at the floor and Junkyard Simulator at the recommended tier are not the same experience. 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 Junkyard Simulator?
Junkyard Simulator targets a mainstream modern PC: NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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 Junkyard Simulator'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.
