Can I Run Ultrakill?
Arsi "Hakita" Patala released Ultrakill in 2020. It is an action indie game, published by New Blood Interactive. The game supports a single player campaign. Cloud saves are enabled. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Over 208 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a deliberately retro presentation, moving through enclosed arenas. The publisher supplies 24 storefront screenshots of these environments. It is played from a first person view.
Why Ultrakill is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Ultrakill. Geforce GTX 970 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Ultrakill within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Ultrakill needs only 8 GB of RAM. Ultrakill takes about 3 GB of disk space. DirectX 12 is named, so Ultrakill expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Ultrakill names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Ultrakill?
Ultrakill targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 560 Or Equivalent and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Geforce GTX 970 Or Equivalent 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 | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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.

Each card is compared against Ultrakill'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.
