Can I Run Nier Replicant?
Released in 2021, Nier Replicant is an action adventure game built by Square Enix. The game supports a single player campaign. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Cloud saves are enabled. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. It carries 47 achievements. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. 9 languages are covered by the store listing. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. With more than 21 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Why Nier Replicant is demanding
Nier Replicant sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting AMD Radeon RX Vega 56; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The install is small at roughly 26 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Nier Replicant scales hard with the hardware you give it. Nier Replicant needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Nier Replicant?
Older hardware holds up here: Nier Replicant runs on modest graphics, with AMD Radeon™ R9 270X; NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.42x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.8x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.35x |
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.
