As a nerd, I gotta say, this is almost definitely possible. Modern games are so incredibly inefficient in ways beyond our understanding, that if you stripped it down to custom assembly brass tacks, I really don't doubt you could run Witcher 3 on Windows 98 (albeit in a lower resolution).

I'm reminded of this guy who coded Minecraft in Unity, but by focusing on optimisations, made it at least 1000x faster at most benchmarks.
