Can I Run Dishonored: Death of the Outsider?
Released in 2017, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is an action game built by Arkane Studios. Publishing duties went to Bethesda Softworks. The game supports a single player campaign. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It carries 30 achievements. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. The game ships for Windows alone. With more than 9 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Its Metacritic score stands at 81.

Setting and environment
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider places its action in a steampunk world, and the player works through spaces built to be avoided rather than cleared. 12 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played from a first person view.
Why Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is demanding
The graphics requirement for Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is light. Hardware around NVidia GTX 1060 is enough, so Dishonored: Death of the Outsider runs on machines never bought for gaming. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The install is small at roughly 32 GB. Dishonored: Death of the Outsider needs only 6 GB of video memory. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dishonored: Death of the Outsider?
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider targets a mainstream modern PC: NVidia GTX 660 2GB/AMD Radeon 7970 3GB and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVidia GTX 1060 6GB/ AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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.
