Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a world after its collapse, moving through combat arenas. The view is from a first person view. The publisher supplies 16 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Alien Storm is demanding
The ask Alien Storm makes is moderate. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT ( lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Alien Storm calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The 8 GB VRAM figure quietly excludes a lot of 6 GB hardware that would otherwise cope. The install is small at roughly 15 GB. Alien Storm names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Alien Storm at the floor and Alien Storm at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Alien Storm?
Older hardware holds up here: Alien Storm runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 (6GB VRAM) 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 | Borderline | 1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.56x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.25x |
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 Storm'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.
