Can I Run Stormworks?
Stormworks is a simulation game from Geometa, released in 2020. Geometa both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Over 53 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through one continuous open world. It is played from a first person view. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Stormworks can never assume the player will stop and let it load. 7 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Stormworks is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Stormworks. GeForce 750 Ti / AMD RX 550 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Stormworks within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Stormworks needs only 8 GB of RAM. Stormworks takes about 2 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Stormworks?
Stormworks targets a mainstream modern PC: Intel HD 6000 / GeForce 550 / AMD R7 250 (AMD Radeon HD 7750) and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce 750 Ti / AMD RX 550 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 | 5.31x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.99x |
| 4K | Runs well | 1.33x |
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.
