Can I Run Aliens Fireteam?
Released in 2021, Aliens Fireteam is an action role playing game built by Cold Iron Studios. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Over 21 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Steam lists support for 12 languages. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Cloud saves are enabled. There are 46 achievements to chase.

Why Aliens Fireteam is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Aliens Fireteam. AMD RX 480 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Aliens Fireteam within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Disk footprint is light, near 30 GB. Aliens Fireteam asks for 8 GB of video memory, so VRAM capacity matters here as much as speed. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Aliens Fireteam 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 Aliens Fireteam?
Older hardware holds up here: Aliens Fireteam runs on modest graphics, with AMD R9 285 4GB / Nvidia GTX 760 4GB 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 | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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.
