Can I Run Dying Light: The Beast?
Techland released Dying Light: The Beast in 2025. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It carries 42 achievements. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. With more than 57 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam lists support for 17 languages.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an outbreak scenario. Play is structured around one continuous open world. The view is from a first person view. That openness is what costs performance. Dying Light: The Beast has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. The publisher supplies 7 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Dying Light: The Beast is demanding
Dying Light: The Beast asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 TI / AMD Radeon 6750 XT / Intel ARC B580, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so Dying Light: The Beast tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Disk footprint is light, near 70 GB on an SSD. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Dying Light: The Beast 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 Dying Light: The Beast?
Dying Light: The Beast is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 TI / AMD Radeon 6750 XT / Intel ARC B580-class graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce 1060 / AMD Radeon 5500 XT / Intel ARC A750 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Dying Light: The Beast needs about 70 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.72x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.41x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.18x |
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.
