Can I Run Trailmakers?
Trailmakers is an action adventure game from Flashbulb, released in 2019. Flashbulb both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. The game ships for Windows alone. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. There are 22 achievements to chase. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Its 7 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Over 32 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing.

Why Trailmakers is demanding
Demand in Trailmakers is ordinary. The publisher has GTX 1080 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Disk footprint is light, near 10 GB. Trailmakers expects 16 GB of system memory. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Trailmakers?
Trailmakers targets a mainstream modern PC: GTX 660 and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GTX 1080 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 | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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.
