Can I Run ASCENT: Crash Landing?
Released in 2018, ASCENT: Crash Landing is an action adventure game built by SPARK Games. The game supports a single player campaign. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It carries 22 achievements. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Being 8 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures.

Setting and environment
ASCENT: Crash Landing places its action in a deliberately retro presentation, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. That openness is what costs performance. ASCENT: Crash Landing has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. 14 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Play is presented in three dimensions.
Why ASCENT: Crash Landing is demanding
The graphics requirement for ASCENT: Crash Landing is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 is enough, so ASCENT: Crash Landing runs on machines never bought for gaming. ASCENT: Crash Landing needs only 8 GB of RAM. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means ASCENT: Crash Landing scales hard with the hardware you give it. The install is small at roughly 3 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run ASCENT: Crash Landing?
ASCENT: Crash Landing is light on hardware. Its minimum, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 6 GB RAM, about 3 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.84x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.82x |
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.
