Can I Run Skate Story?
by Sam Eng released Skate Story in 2025. It is an action adventure game, published by Devolver Digital. It offers a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS. Completionists have 26 achievements to work through. With more than 2 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works.

Setting and environment
Skate Story is set in a bleak fantasy world. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Skate Story is demanding
The ask Skate Story makes is moderate. GeForce RTX 2070 / Radeon RX 5700 / Arc A750 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Skate Story expects 16 GB of system memory. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Skate Story scales hard with the hardware you give it. Skate Story takes about 12 GB of disk space. Skate Story names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first. Skate Story calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Skate Story?
Skate Story is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti / Radeon RX 570 / Arc A380, 8 GB RAM, about 12 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.
