Can I Run The Talos Principle Reawakened?
Croteam released The Talos Principle Reawakened in 2025. It is an adventure game, published by Devolver Digital. The game supports a single player campaign. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Cloud saves are enabled. Steam lists support for 12 languages. Over 1 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. There are 48 achievements to chase.

Why The Talos Principle Reawakened is demanding
The graphics demand in The Talos Principle Reawakened is at the top end. 8+ GB VRAM; Radeon RX 6800, GeForce RTX 3070, Intel Arc B580 outscores our RTX 3060 reference, and a machine that clears The Talos Principle Reawakened comfortably will clear most other things. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 4 GB, so on The Talos Principle Reawakened the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does. The Talos Principle Reawakened needs 64 bit Windows. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means The Talos Principle Reawakened scales hard with the hardware you give it. The Talos Principle Reawakened takes about 50 GB of disk space, SSD specified. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The Talos Principle Reawakened calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Talos Principle Reawakened?
The Talos Principle Reawakened is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a 8+ GB VRAM; Radeon RX 6800, GeForce RTX 3070, Intel Arc B580-class graphics card, with 4 GB VRAM; Radeon RX 470, GeForce GTX 970, Intel Arc A580 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
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.

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
