Can I Run Nightingale?
Nightingale is an action adventure game from Inflexion Games, released in 2024. Inflexion Games both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Cloud saves are enabled. With more than 15 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. It carries 28 achievements. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard.

Why Nightingale is demanding
Nightingale sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting GeForce RTX 2060 Super / Radeon RX 5700XT, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Nightingale scales hard with the hardware you give it. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Disk footprint is light, near 70 GB on an SSD. Nightingale expects 16 GB of system memory. Nightingale calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Nightingale?
Nightingale is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, Radeon RX 580 or Intel Arc A580 clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Nightingale needs about 70 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.6x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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 Nightingale'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.
