Completionists have 34 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
They Are Billions places its action in an outbreak scenario, and the player works through a base the player builds up. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours. There are 18 official screenshots to judge the look from. It is played from an isometric view.

Bottleneck: CPU
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.
