Can I Run Days Gone?
Bend Studio released Days Gone in 2021. It is an action adventure game, published by PlayStation Publishing LLC. The game supports a single player campaign. It carries 67 achievements. 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. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Over 81 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. It is localised into 22 languages according to the store listing.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an outbreak scenario, moving through one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 14 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented from a third person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Days Gone has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Days Gone is demanding
Days Gone is undemanding on the graphics side. Its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 ( target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Days Gone. Days Gone needs only 6 GB of video memory. Days Gone expects 16 GB of system memory. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Days Gone scales hard with the hardware you give it. Days Gone takes about 70 GB of disk space, SSD specified.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Days Gone?
Older hardware holds up here: Days Gone runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 (3 GB) or AMD Radeon R9 290 (4 GB) 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
Large install. Days Gone needs about 70 GB of SSD of free storage.
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.
