About

Speedball, released in 1988, is a unique blend of action and sports that immerses players in a futuristic football-like environment. Set on a steel-walled pitch that measures 160 feet long by 90 feet wide, the game features two teams vying for supremacy as they attempt to score goals using a ball that can be transported through warp tunnels built into the walls. Notable for its fast-paced gameplay, Speedball combines the excitement of traditional sports with the intensity of arcade action, making it a distinctive title in the realm of PC gaming.

This PC game appeals particularly to gamers who cherish competitive matches and enjoy strategic gameplay. With its blend of skill and tactics, Speedball requires quick reflexes and a keen sense of timing, making it ideal for players who thrive on challenge. The game offers a balance of accessibility for newcomers and depth for seasoned gamers, encouraging replayability as players strive to improve their performance and master its mechanics.

Given its rating of 75/100, Speedball is certainly worth a look for fans of action and sports genres. Its engaging gameplay and innovative design remain entertaining, making it a classic PC game that stands the test of time. If you're in search of a retro gaming experience with a unique twist, Speedball is a solid choice.

Performance profile

Released in November 1988, Speedball predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.

Sports titles tend to be well-optimised — Speedball typically delivers comfortable 1440p 60 FPS on mid-range hardware. If you play competitively, target 120 FPS+ for smoother animation and quicker reads.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Speedball. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
