Can I Run Stationeers?
Stationeers is an action indie game from RocketWerkz, released in 2017. RocketWerkz both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is localised into 16 languages according to the store listing. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Over 8 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. There are 53 achievements to chase. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
Stationeers places its action in an open sandbox, and the player works through a base the player builds up. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one. 21 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Stationeers is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Stationeers. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD equivalent scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Stationeers within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The install is small at roughly 5 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. At 2 GB, VRAM is a non issue for Stationeers. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Stationeers?
Stationeers targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2 GB or AMD equivalent and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD equivalent for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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 Stationeers'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.
