Can I Run Steep PC?
Steep PC is an action sports game from Ubisoft Annecy, released in 2016. Ubisoft published it. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. With more than 30 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. The game ships for Windows alone. It carries 41 achievements. Critics scored it 72 on Metacritic. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. 12 languages are covered by the store listing.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through one continuous open world. 15 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Play is presented from a first person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Steep PC has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Steep PC is demanding
Steep PC is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 390 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Steep PC. Steep PC takes about 25 GB of disk space. Steep PC needs only 8 GB of RAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Steep PC?
Steep PC targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 560TI or Radeon R7 260X and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 390 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 | 2.18x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.23x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.54x |
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.
