Can I Run Witchfire?
Witchfire is an action game from The Astronauts, released in 2024. The Astronauts both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. 15 languages are covered by the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Completionists have 36 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. With more than 15 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works.

Why Witchfire is demanding
The ask Witchfire makes is moderate. Nvidia RTX 2060 / AMD RX 5700 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Witchfire takes about 55 GB of disk space, SSD specified. Witchfire names just 6 GB of video memory, so the bottleneck sits in raw GPU throughput rather than VRAM. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Witchfire scales hard with the hardware you give it. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying Witchfire. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Witchfire calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Witchfire?
Older hardware holds up here: Witchfire runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti / AMD RX 470 (4GB VRAM or more) enough to meet the minimum. Add 12 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
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 Witchfire'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.
