Can I Run Deadswitch 3?
Deadswitch 3 is an action casual game from Wilkin Games, released in 2021. Wilkin Games both developed and published it. 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. The base game is free to play, so trying it costs only disk space and download time. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Steam lists support for 16 languages. There are 45 achievements to chase. Cloud saves are enabled. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures.

Why Deadswitch 3 is demanding
Deadswitch 3 sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980/AMD Radeon R9 390X, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. System memory expectations are modest at 4 GB. The install is small at roughly 1 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Deadswitch 3 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 Deadswitch 3?
Deadswitch 3 is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760/AMD Radeon HD 7970, 1 GB RAM, about 0.49 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 | 1.73x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.98x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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.
