Can I Run Icarus PC?
Released in 2021, Icarus PC is an action adventure game built by RocketWerkz. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Completionists have 171 achievements to work through. Its Steam review count passes 53 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. The game ships for Windows alone.

Why Icarus PC is demanding
Icarus PC is a heavy title. Its NVIDIA RTX 3060ti target scores above the RTX 3060 we measure against, so anything meaningfully slower is making compromises rather than running Icarus PC properly. System memory is unusually high at 32 GB, so a 16 GB machine needs an upgrade even with a strong graphics card. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Icarus PC at the floor and Icarus PC at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Icarus PC needs 64 bit Windows. The install is small at roughly 70 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Icarus PC?
Icarus PC is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: RAM
Large install. Icarus PC needs about 70 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.83x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.47x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.21x |
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.

Each card is compared against Icarus PC's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
