Can I Run Destroy All Humans!?
Released in 2020, Destroy All Humans! is an action adventure game built by Black Forest Games. Publishing duties went to THQ Nordic. It offers a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 8 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It carries 40 achievements.

Setting and environment
Destroy All Humans! places its action in a science fiction setting, and the player works through one continuous open world. The view is from a third person view. The publisher supplies 30 storefront screenshots of these environments. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Destroy All Humans! has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Destroy All Humans! is demanding
Disk footprint is light, near 19 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Destroy All Humans! expects 16 GB of system memory. Destroy All Humans! calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
