VHOLUME System Requirements

Stuttering frame times feel like bad parkour. Before blaming a route from the Demo Walkthrough, verify hardware against Steam’s published requirements for VHOLUME.

Minimum

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10 Home/Pro/Enterprise/Education, version 1903 or newer
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
• RAM: 4 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R7 370
• Storage: 10 GB available space

Recommended

• OS: same Windows 10 1903+ baseline
• CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 7 1700
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580
• Storage: 10 GB available space

Practical advice

Close overlays if input lag appears during gold pushes. Prefer wired controllers when testing binds from the cheatsheet. Keep enough free disk space for updates listed on the Updates Hub.

Demo versus full game

The free demo is the right stress test today. The full game launches 21 August 2026—recheck this page if Steam revises specs. For feature context see demo overview and release date.

Smooth frames keep melancholy atmospheric instead of frustrating.

Troubleshooting ladder

1. Confirm OS version ≥ 1903.
2. Update GPU drivers.
3. Cap frame rate for stability if you prefer consistency over max FPS.
4. Disable heavy overlays during timed runs.
5. Re-test on the hub circuit from the Demo Walkthrough.

Only after the ladder should you rebuild your entire movement plan. Hardware ghosts are real.

Closing note

Keep one insight from « System Requirements » beside your next demo launch, then verify it on concrete before chasing gold on 21 August 2026 prep nights.

Interpreting Steam numbers as a runner

Minimum means boots and crawls. Recommended means comfortable literacy. Speed practice wants recommended-or-better plus the stability habits on Performance Tips. Demo2’s extra maps and multiplayer can raise cost versus early beta anecdotes—re-benchmark. Laptops should stress-test Conapts interiors for thermal drop. Verify disk space before updating. If you are under minimum, still wishlist for a future PC upgrade toward launch day, but set expectations honestly.

Pre-session hardware checklist

Drivers current · overlay bloat closed · power plan not silent-battery · Steam overlay decisions intentional · headset volume safe for long sessions. Hardware readiness is part of route readiness.

Full game anticipation

Launch on 21 August 2026 may ship higher defaults. Keep headroom now. Re-read this page when Steam edits the requirements table.

Wishlist note for underpowered PCs

You can still enjoy trailers, guides, and community chatter while saving for an upgrade. Just separate “I can practise demo golds” from “I can only spectate until hardware catches up.” Honest expectations protect the fantasy.

Page-specific closer

Specs are a floor for honesty: upgrade plans beat denial when Conapts interiors hitch on battery power.

Spec honesty after Demo2

Re-benchmark hub exterior and Conapts interiors after updating. Multiplayer and denser geometry can raise cost versus early beta stories. Keep a written preset next to your medal checklist so launch week on 21 August 2026 does not surprise you. If you sit between minimum and recommended, expect literacy to work and gold pace to demand patience or upgrades. Disk space and driver dates belong on the same sticky note as your binds.
