Can I Run Worms W.M.D.?
Worms W.M.D. is an action strategy game from Team17, released in 2016. Team17 both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. There are 29 achievements to chase. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. 9 languages are covered by the store listing. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Cloud saves are enabled. Critics scored it 79 on Metacritic. Its Steam review count passes 10 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Why Worms W.M.D. is demanding
Worms W.M.D. barely touches the GPU. Its stated GeForce GTX 750, AMD R7 370 target is below anything currently sold. System memory expectations are modest at 4 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Worms W.M.D.?
Worms W.M.D. targets a mainstream modern PC: Intel 4400, GeForce GTX 280, AMD Radeon HD 7750 and 2 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 750, AMD R7 370 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 | 6.54x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 3.68x |
| 4K | Comfortable | 1.63x |
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.
