Can I Run Deathloop?
Deathloop is an action game from Arkane Studios, released in 2021. Bethesda Softworks published it. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Completionists have 58 achievements to work through. The game ships for Windows alone. Over 19 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Metacritic places it at 87.

Setting and environment
Deathloop structures its play around spaces built to be avoided rather than cleared. There are 14 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a first person view.
Why Deathloop is demanding
The ask Deathloop makes is moderate. Nvidia RTX 2060 ( lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Deathloop scales hard with the hardware you give it. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 6 GB, so on Deathloop the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does. Deathloop needs 64 bit Windows. The install is small at roughly 30 GB. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. DirectX 12 is named, so Deathloop expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Deathloop?
Older hardware holds up here: Deathloop runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GTX 1060 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB) enough to meet the minimum. Add 12 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 | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
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.
