Can I Run Ikarus?

Vanja Aleksić released Ikarus in 2025. It is an action indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. Completionists have 11 achievements to work through. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. With only 175 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in an unsettling psychological setting, moving through spaces built for exploration. 9 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Ikarus can never assume the player will stop and let it load. The view is from a first person view.

Why Ikarus is demanding

Demand in Ikarus is ordinary. The publisher has RTX 3060 / RX 6700 XT in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Ikarus scales hard with the hardware you give it. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. DirectX 12 is named, so Ikarus expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Disk footprint is light, near 5 GB on an SSD. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Ikarus?

100%

Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Ikarus targets a mainstream modern PC: GTX 1080 / RX 5700 XT and 8 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to RTX 3060 / RX 6700 XT for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Borderline	1x
1440p	Below the bar	0.56x
4K	Below the bar	0.25x

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 Ikarus'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.
