Can I Run A Way Out?
Released in 2020, A Way Out is an action adventure game built by Hazelight Studios. Publishing duties went to Electronic Arts. It offers cooperative play. Metacritic places it at 78. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. There are 14 achievements to chase. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is localised into 8 languages according to the store listing. With more than 77 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Why A Way Out is demanding
A Way Out is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Nvidia GTX 960; AMD R9 290 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear A Way Out. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. At 2 GB, VRAM is a non issue for A Way Out. A Way Out takes about 25 GB of disk space. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run A Way Out?
A Way Out targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650Ti 2GB, AMD Radeon HD 7750 2GB and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia GTX 960; AMD R9 290 or equivalent for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.83x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.59x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.71x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
