Can I Run Superliminal?
Superliminal is an action adventure game from Pillow Castle, released in 2020. Pillow Castle both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. With more than 27 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. 15 languages are covered by the store listing. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Builds exist for macOS and Linux 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. Completionists have 27 achievements to work through. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.

Setting and environment
Superliminal places its action in an unsettling psychological setting, and the player works through self contained puzzle rooms. There are 6 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a first person view.
Why Superliminal is demanding
The ask Superliminal makes is moderate. Nvidia GTX 1070 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The install is small at roughly 12 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Superliminal scales hard with the hardware you give it. It targets DirectX 10, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Superliminal?
Superliminal is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVidia GTX 750, 4 GB RAM, about 12 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 | Runs well | 1.31x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.74x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.33x |
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.
