Can I Run End of the Sun?
Released in 2025, End of the Sun is an adventure indie game built by The End of the Sun Forge. The game supports a single player campaign. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It carries 40 achievements. Its 220 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a mystery to unpick. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. The view is through a point and click interface. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and End of the Sun has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. There are 17 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why End of the Sun is demanding
End of the Sun sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia RTX 2070 SUPER / AMD Radeon RX 6700 / (, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. End of the Sun expects 16 GB of system memory. End of the Sun takes about 10 GB of disk space, SSD specified. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so End of the Sun at the floor and End of the Sun 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 End of the Sun?
End of the Sun is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon HD 7970 / (2GB VRAM minimum / 4GB VRAM recommended), 8 GB RAM, about 10 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 0.94x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.53x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.24x |
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.
