Can I Run Live A Live?

Live A Live is an adventure role playing game from Square Enix, released in 2023. Square Enix both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. The game ships for Windows alone. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing. It carries 761 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It carries 48 achievements.

Why Live A Live is demanding

The graphics requirement for Live A Live is light. Hardware around AMD Radeon RX 470 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 ( is enough, so Live A Live runs on machines never bought for gaming. Live A Live needs 64 bit Windows. Live A Live needs only 8 GB of RAM. Live A Live calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Live A Live at the floor and Live A Live at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 8 GB.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Live A Live?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Live A Live is light on hardware. Its minimum, AMD Radeon™ RX 460 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750, 8 GB RAM, about 8 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

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.24x
1440pRuns well1.26x
4KBelow the bar0.56x

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.
