Can I Run Peaks of Yore?
Anders Grube Jensen released Peaks of Yore in 2023. It is an action adventure game, published by TraipseWare. It offers a single player campaign. The game ships for Windows alone. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. It carries 53 achievements. Its Steam review count passes 3 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only.

Setting and environment
Peaks of Yore places its action in an unsettling psychological setting, and the player works through platforming routes. The publisher supplies 17 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a first person view.
Why Peaks of Yore is demanding
Demand in Peaks of Yore is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. The install is small at roughly 2 GB. Peaks of Yore needs only 8 GB of RAM. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Peaks of Yore scales hard with the hardware you give it. 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 Peaks of Yore?
Peaks of Yore is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900 Series or AMD Radeon RX 460, 4 GB RAM, about 2 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
| 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.
