Can I Run Wolfenstein: The New Order?
MachineGames released Wolfenstein: The New Order in 2014. It is an action game, published by Bethesda Softworks. The game supports a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 45 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. 7 languages are covered by the store listing. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. Its Metacritic score stands at 81. It carries 50 achievements. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard.
