Can I Run Rescue HQ?
Released in 2019, Rescue HQ is a casual indie game built by stillalive studios. Publishing duties went to Aerosoft GmbH. It offers a single player campaign. 10 languages are covered by the store listing. Completionists have 21 achievements to work through. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. The game ships for Windows alone. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Its 733 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through systems the player balances from above. The load here grows with the save. An empty map tells you very little about how the machine will cope once the build is large. Play is presented from an isometric view. 20 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Rescue HQ is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Rescue HQ. AMD/NVIDIA dedicated graphic card, with at least 2048 / scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Rescue HQ within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The install is small at roughly 0 GB. Rescue HQ needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Rescue HQ?
Rescue HQ is light on hardware. Its minimum, AMD/NVIDIA dedicated graphic card, with at least 2048MB of dedicated VRAM and Shader Model 5.1 support. AMD R7 265 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti or newer architectures are recommended., 4 GB RAM, about 0.49 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: CPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 5.31x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.99x |
| 4K | Runs well | 1.33x |
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.
