Can I Run Void Bastards?
Void Bastards is an action strategy game from Blue Manchu, released in 2019. Blue Manchu both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS. It is localised into 9 languages according to the store listing. Metacritic places it at 81. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Completionists have 24 achievements to work through. Over 3 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.

Why Void Bastards is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Void Bastards. GTX 970 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Void Bastards within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Void Bastards needs 64 bit Windows. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB. The install is small at roughly 6 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Void Bastards?
Void Bastards targets a mainstream modern PC: GTX 660 2GB, AMD Radeon 7850 2GB and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GTX 970 4GB, AMD R9 290 4GB 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 | 2.58x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.45x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.64x |
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.
