Can I Run Stray PC?
Stray PC is an adventure indie game from BlueTwelve Studio, released in 2022. Annapurna Interactive published it. It offers a single player campaign. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS. Metacritic places it at 82. There are 24 achievements to chase. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Its Steam review count passes 155 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is localised into 16 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a cyberpunk future. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. The publisher supplies 8 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is from a third person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Stray PC has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Stray PC is demanding
Stray PC is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Stray PC. Stray PC needs only 8 GB of RAM. Stray PC calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The install is small at roughly 10 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Stray PC?
Stray PC targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti, 2 GB | AMD Radeon R7 360, 2 GB and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, 3 GB | AMD Radeon R9 290X, 4 GB 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 | 2.7x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.52x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.67x |
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 Stray PC'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.
