Can I Run Alien AI?
GridSky Software released Alien AI in 2021. It is an adventure indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Completionists have 12 achievements to work through.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a world after its collapse, moving through hostile territory. Play is presented from a third person view. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Alien AI is demanding
The graphics requirement for Alien AI is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is enough, so Alien AI runs on machines never bought for gaming. Alien AI takes about 5 GB of disk space. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Alien AI needs 64 bit Windows. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Alien AI scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Alien AI?
Older hardware holds up here: Alien AI runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 4GB or GTX 1060 6GB / AMD R9 390 8GB enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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.

Each card is compared against Alien AI's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
