About
Humankind (2021) is a historical strategy game that lets you shape the entire narrative of human civilization from ancient times onward. You'll blend culture, history, and values to create a truly unique society, making it a standout entry in the 4X strategy genre. With a solid 79/100 rating, it offers deep strategic gameplay for fans of the genre.
Running Humankind doesn't require cutting-edge hardware, making it fairly accessible for most PC gamers. You'll want at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 5968 and a CPU scoring approximately 5327 to maintain playable FPS. A modest 8 GB of RAM completes the minimum setup, and the game scales well with better graphics settings on mid-range GPUs, allowing you to push performance and visual quality depending on your hardware.
If you enjoy strategic titles and want a fresh take on human history, Humankind deserves your attention. The game's accessible performance requirements mean most gaming PCs can handle it smoothly.
Performance profile
Released in August 2021, Humankind targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
As a strategy title, Humankind is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Humankind; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Will you be the one to leave the deepest mark on the world?
