Can I Run Interstellar Rift?
Split Polygon released Interstellar Rift in 2020. It is an action indie game, published by Iceberg Interactive. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. 7 languages are covered by the store listing. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Over 1 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. It carries 42 achievements. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Why Interstellar Rift is demanding
The graphics requirement for Interstellar Rift is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 is enough, so Interstellar Rift runs on machines never bought for gaming. Interstellar Rift needs only 8 GB of RAM. The install is small at roughly 10 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Interstellar Rift?
Interstellar Rift targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or higher and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or higher 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 | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
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.
