Can I Run Death?
Released in 2026, Death is an action adventure game built by KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Publishing duties went to PlayStation Publishing LLC. The game supports a single player campaign. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. It is localised into 18 languages according to the store listing. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. With more than 14 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Completionists have 55 achievements to work through. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a science fiction setting. Play is structured around one continuous open world. That openness is what costs performance. Death has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. It is played from a third person view. There are 20 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Death is demanding
Death is a heavy title. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, AMD Radeon RX 6800 target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Death properly. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Budget around 150 GB of storage for Death, and it must be an SSD. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Death at the floor and Death at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Death?
Death is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, AMD Radeon RX 6800-class graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Death needs about 150 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
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.
Common GPUs
| Graphics card | Verdict |
|---|---|
| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 Laptop | Below minimum |
| RTX 2060 6 GB | Playable |
| RTX 2060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3060 12 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 3060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 4060 8 GB | Runs well |
| RTX 4060 Laptop | Playable |
| RTX 3070 8 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 3070 Laptop | Runs well |
| RTX 4070 12 GB | Runs great |
| RTX 4070 Laptop | Runs well |
| RX 6600 8 GB | Runs well |
Each card is compared against Death'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.
