Can I Run Ultrakill PC?
Arsi "Hakita" Patala released Ultrakill PC in 2020. It is an action indie game, published by New Blood Interactive. It offers a single player campaign. Over 208 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Why Ultrakill PC is demanding
The graphics requirement for Ultrakill PC is light. Hardware around Geforce GTX 970 is enough, so Ultrakill PC runs on machines never bought for gaming. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Ultrakill PC. Ultrakill PC calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. Disk footprint is light, near 3 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Ultrakill PC?
Ultrakill PC 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.
