Can I Run Raft?

Released in 2022, Raft is an adventure indie game built by Redbeet Interactive. Publishing duties went to Axolot Games. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Its Steam review count passes 320 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Completionists have 104 achievements to work through. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment

Raft places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through hostile territory. 24 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. The view is from a first person view.

Why Raft is demanding

The graphics requirement for Raft is light. Hardware around GeForce GTX 1050 series is enough, so Raft runs on machines never bought for gaming. Raft needs only 8 GB of RAM. Raft takes about 10 GB of disk space.

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

Can you run Raft?

100%

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

Raft targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 700 series or similar and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 1050 series or similar for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Comfortable	3.27x
1440p	Comfortable	1.84x
4K	Below the bar	0.82x

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 Raft'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.
