About

Timberborn, released in 2021, is an indie simulation and strategy game that challenges players to build a thriving city in a world where humans no longer exist. Set in a unique lumberpunk universe, players must guide clever beavers as they navigate challenges like droughts and toxic waste. The game is notable for its innovative vertical architecture and engaging water physics, making city-building an intriguing experience as you strategize the best use of resources, particularly wood.

In terms of PC performance, Timberborn is designed to be accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 5352. Players can expect decent FPS on a range of hardware, but to achieve optimal performance and higher graphics settings, a mid-tier GPU is recommended. With at least 8 GB of RAM, even less demanding systems will be able to enjoy this game without major performance hitches, making it a solid benchmark for casual gamers seeking a balance between visuals and playability.

With a rating of 72/100, Timberborn is a compelling choice for fans of indie games and simulation genres. Its unique premise and engaging mechanics are likely to appeal to players looking for an innovative city-building experience, making it worthwhile to dive into its charming world of beavers and lumber.

Performance profile

March 2026 release. As a current-generation title, Timberborn 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.

As a strategy title, Timberborn 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 Timberborn; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

Mankind turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and evolved. Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.
