Can I Run Slime Rancher PC?
Released in 2025, Slime Rancher PC is an action adventure game built by Monomi Park. The game supports a single player campaign. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Its Steam review count passes 42 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Completionists have 27 achievements to work through. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a gentle, brightly drawn world, moving through one continuous open world. Play is presented from a first person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Slime Rancher PC has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The publisher supplies 13 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Slime Rancher PC is demanding
Slime Rancher PC sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Slime Rancher PC scales hard with the hardware you give it. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Disk footprint is light, near 8 GB. Slime Rancher PC needs 64 bit Windows.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Slime Rancher PC?
Slime Rancher PC is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB / AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB, 8 GB RAM, about 8 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.
