Can I Run Heading Out?
Serious Sim released Heading Out in 2024. It is an action adventure game, published by Crunching Koalas. It offers a single player campaign. It carries 55 achievements. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Critics scored it 76 on Metacritic. With only 627 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware. Steam lists support for 11 languages.

Why Heading Out is demanding
Heading Out sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting GeForce RTX 2070 Super or Radeon 5700 XT, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The install is small at roughly 30 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Heading Out expects 16 GB of system memory. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Heading Out at the floor and Heading Out 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 Heading Out?
Older hardware holds up here: Heading Out runs on modest graphics, with GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 560 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

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.
