Can I Run Dead Rising 4?
Released in 2017, Dead Rising 4 is an action game built by Capcom Game Studio Vancouver, Inc.. Publishing duties went to Capcom. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Its 9 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Its Metacritic score stands at 74. Its Steam review count passes 4 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. 12 languages are covered by the store listing. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Completionists have 104 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an outbreak scenario, moving through one continuous open world. It is played from a third person view. There are 8 official screenshots to judge the look from. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Dead Rising 4 can never assume the player will stop and let it load.
Why Dead Rising 4 is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Dead Rising 4. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 ( scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Dead Rising 4 within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Dead Rising 4 scales hard with the hardware you give it. Dead Rising 4 needs 64 bit Windows. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. The install is small at roughly 50 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dead Rising 4?
Older hardware holds up here: Dead Rising 4 runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (2 GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7850 (2 GB) enough to meet the minimum. Add 6 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 | 2.58x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.45x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.64x |
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 Dead Rising 4'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.
