Can I Run Satisfactory?
Satisfactory is an adventure indie game from Coffee Stain Studios, released in 2024. Coffee Stain Publishing published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. There are 44 achievements to chase. Its Metacritic score stands at 91. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. With more than 231 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. 13 languages are covered by the store listing.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an open sandbox. Play is structured around a base the player builds up. It is played from a first person view. The publisher supplies 17 storefront screenshots of these environments. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours.
Why Satisfactory is demanding
The ask Satisfactory makes is moderate. Nvidia RTX 2070 or RX 5700 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Satisfactory. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Satisfactory at the floor and Satisfactory at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 20 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Satisfactory?
Satisfactory is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GTX 1650/GTX 1050-ti, or AMD RX 470/RX 570, or equivalent performance & VRAM, 8 GB RAM, about 20 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 | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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 Satisfactory'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.
