Setting and environment
Forsaken Universe places its action in a military setting, and the player works through one continuous open world. It is played in three dimensions. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Forsaken Universe has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. There are 7 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Forsaken Universe is demanding
Forsaken Universe is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GTX 980 / AMD R9 Fury target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Forsaken Universe. The install is small at roughly 20 GB, on an SSD. Forsaken Universe needs 64 bit Windows. The DirectX requirement is undemanding, at version 10. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Forsaken Universe at the floor and Forsaken Universe 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 Forsaken Universe?
Older hardware holds up here: Forsaken Universe runs on modest graphics, with GTX 670 2GB / AMD R9 280 better enough to meet the minimum. Add 10 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 | Comfortable | 1.85x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.04x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.46x |
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.
