Can I Run Ravenbound?

Systemic Reaction™ released Ravenbound in 2023. It is an action game, published by Avalanche Studios. The game supports a single player campaign. With only 764 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware. The game ships for Windows alone. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It carries 33 achievements. It is localised into 7 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment

The game is set in a medieval setting. Play is structured around runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. 12 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Because the game assembles its spaces as it goes, the cost lands on the CPU in bursts rather than steadily on the GPU. It is played in three dimensions.

Why Ravenbound is demanding

The ask Ravenbound makes is moderate. Nvidia GTX 1070 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Ravenbound needs 64 bit Windows. Ravenbound calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The install is small at roughly 25 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Ravenbound at the floor and Ravenbound at the recommended tier are not the same experience.

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

Can you run Ravenbound?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Ravenbound is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, about 25 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

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pRuns well1.31x
1440pBelow the bar0.74x
4KBelow the bar0.33x

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.
