About

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a 2016 action-adventure reboot that shifts the series toward open-world exploration. You'll navigate a futuristic city using parkour mechanics as protagonist Faith, completing objectives across freely explorable environments rather than following linear paths. The game blends fast-paced traversal with combat encounters in a striking minimalist aesthetic.

From a performance standpoint, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is quite accessible for modern systems. You'll need at least an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 2533 and a CPU score of approximately 265, along with 6GB of RAM minimum. Most mid-range graphics cards from the last several years will comfortably deliver 60+ FPS at high settings, making this an excellent benchmark title for testing GPU performance on less demanding games without requiring high-end hardware.

If you enjoy parkour-focused gameplay and stylized visuals, Catalyst is worth playing despite its 69/100 rating. The open-world structure gives the parkour mechanics room to shine, though some found the story and combat less compelling than the original game's focused approach.

Performance profile

Released in June 2016, Mirror's Edge Catalyst sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Mirror's Edge Catalyst; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
