About

For Salmon, an entry-level GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is sufficient for a smooth gaming experience. Given its indie and action-oriented nature, the game's requirements are quite accessible, allowing a wider range of players to enjoy it without needing high-end hardware. With these GPUs, players can expect to run the game at 1080p resolution with medium settings, providing a solid balance between visual quality and performance.

For those with more capable hardware, such as a GTX 1660 or RX 6600, pushing the settings to high at 1080p or even venturing into 1440p is feasible. This not only enhances the visual fidelity but also maintains a fluid frame rate, crucial for a speedrunning platformer where precision is key. Overall, Salmon is designed to be approachable for a variety of systems, making it an excellent choice for gamers looking to dive into a fun and fast-paced experience without breaking the bank on hardware.

Performance profile

December 2026 release. As a current-generation title, Salmon pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

Racing games like Salmon are latency-critical — input-to-screen responsiveness is everything. Target a locked 60 FPS minimum (ideally 120 FPS on a high-refresh display) with VSync off or G-Sync/FreeSync active.

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

Storyline

You are a salmon, performing platforming that feels as satisfying as it feels ridiculous that a salmon can do it. Jump off walls, race your salmon friends, learn the ways of the salmon. Also, did you know that salmon are magnetic?
