Can I Run AWAY: The Survival Series?
Released in 2021, AWAY: The Survival Series is an action adventure game built by Breaking Walls. It offers a single player campaign. 7 languages are covered by the store listing. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. The game ships for Windows alone. There are 21 achievements to chase. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Its 312 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one.

Setting and environment
AWAY: The Survival Series places its action in a gentle, brightly drawn world, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. That openness is what costs performance. AWAY: The Survival Series has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. Play is presented from a third person view. There are 12 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why AWAY: The Survival Series is demanding
AWAY: The Survival Series is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Geforce GTX 2060 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear AWAY: The Survival Series. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. The install is small at roughly 15 GB. AWAY: The Survival Series calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run AWAY: The Survival Series?
AWAY: The Survival Series is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB / AMD Radeon R9 380 2GB, 6 GB RAM, about 15 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: CPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.04x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.71x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.76x |
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.
