Catch Me! PC Hardware Guide
Official requirements explained
Catch Me! is a light online tag game for up to four players. The official minimum asks for an Intel Core i5 running at 2.4 GHz or a comparable CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4GB or better graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and 3GB of storage. In today's terms, the minimum GPU sits roughly at the level of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which is an older entry-level card. The CPU reference is very old, entry-level dual-core territory. In short, this game is not demanding, and almost any entry-level PC from the last several years should run it.
The publisher has not listed a recommended configuration, so there is no official target beyond the minimum. If your graphics card is roughly at GTX 970 level or newer, you will clear the minimum comfortably and have room to raise settings. Storage is listed at 3GB, and no SSD is required.
An SSD mainly shortens load times and update installs. It does not change how the game plays, so an older hard drive with enough free space is fine.
Recommended builds for three budgets
The entry build suits players who want to join a few online matches without spending much. The GeForce GTX 1650 4GB or RTX 3050 6GB pairs well with a Ryzen 3 3100 or Core i3-10100F, with 16GB of RAM. This is well above the official minimum and should give a steady experience.
The mainstream build suits players who want higher settings or who play other games on the same machine. The GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3050 8GB, or Arc A580 are sensible choices, paired with a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i5-10400. Sixteen gigabytes of RAM is still the right amount here.
The high-end build is more than this game needs, but it makes sense if you use a high-resolution monitor or share the PC with demanding titles. An RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 32GB of RAM will leave plenty of headroom.
Graphics settings with the biggest impact
In games like this, shadows, volumetric lighting and smoke effects, object detail density, and view distance usually cost the most. Shadows and effects are often the heaviest items on the graphics card, so start by lowering those. Dropping one step rarely hurts readability during a chase.
Anti-aliasing and post-processing can be tuned to taste. If your card is on the weaker side, turning off motion blur and similar extras is an easy win, since they add little to competitive play. Reducing view distance a bit is also reasonable, because in a chase you mostly watch nearby opponents and terrain.
Upscaling technologies such as DLSS, FSR, and XeSS render at a lower internal resolution and reconstruct the image. They trade a small amount of sharpness for extra headroom. Whether they help depends on what your hardware supports and what the game offers, so compare the image yourself before settling on a setting.
Laptops and handheld PCs
Laptop graphics chips often share a name with desktop parts but deliver less performance. Laptops run lower power limits and have more restricted cooling, so an RTX 3050 in a laptop will usually trail the desktop version. When checking against the official requirements, look at the actual power configuration and cooling design, not just the model name.
Handheld PCs such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally sit roughly between entry-level and mid-range hardware. Battery limits and thermal limits can reduce sustained performance during long sessions. We have no Steam Deck verification data for this title, so we cannot give a rating for that platform. Check community reports or test it yourself before relying on it.
On handhelds, use low to medium settings and cap the frame rate to what the device can hold steadily. This reduces heat and battery drain, and controller support, where available, makes the experience feel closer to a desktop.
Storage and memory
The official minimum is 8GB of RAM, but we recommend 16GB for comfortable multitasking with the game and background apps. If your motherboard supports dual-channel memory, install the sticks in the correct slots so both channels are active. That gives more bandwidth and smoother performance overall.
The game lists 3GB of storage, which is small by modern standards. Updates add files over time, so keep some free space on the drive. An SSD is not required, but it shortens loading and the wait between rounds.
A hard drive works fine as long as it has enough room; the only real cost is slower loading. Clearing unneeded files and keeping the drive from filling up helps both the system and the game stay in good shape.
