Can I Run Phoenix Point?
Phoenix Point is a role playing strategy game from Snapshot Games Inc., released in 2020. Snapshot Games Inc. both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. Cloud saves are enabled. There are 47 achievements to chase. It is localised into 8 languages according to the store listing. With more than 5 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. Critics scored it 74 on Metacritic. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.

Why Phoenix Point is demanding
Phoenix Point is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 480 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Phoenix Point. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Phoenix Point expects 16 GB of system memory. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Phoenix Point at the floor and Phoenix Point at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Disk footprint is light, near 30 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Phoenix Point?
Older hardware holds up here: Phoenix Point runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 / AMD Radeon R9 270x 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 | Comfortable | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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 Phoenix Point'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.
