Can I Run The Medium?
The Medium is an adventure game from Bloober Team, released in 2021. Bloober Team SA published it. The game supports a single player campaign. It carries 39 achievements. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. With more than 7 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a horror setting, moving through environments built to be read rather than fought through. There are 7 official screenshots to judge the look from. It is played from a third person view.
Why The Medium is demanding
The ask The Medium makes is moderate. @1080p NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super / Radeon RX 5600XT | @4K NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 or RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6800 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The Medium needs 64 bit Windows. The Medium takes about 55 GB of disk space. The Medium calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means The Medium scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Medium?
The Medium targets a mainstream modern PC: @1080p NVIDIA GEFORCE® GTX 1650 Super or GTX 1060 / Radeon™ R9 390X and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to @1080p NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 1660 Super / Radeon™ RX 5600XT | @4K NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 2080 or RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon™ RX 6800 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 | 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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Runs well |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Playable |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Playable |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs great |

Each card is compared against The Medium'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.
