Can I Run ISLAND?
Dambuster Studios released ISLAND in 2024. It is an action adventure game, published by Deep Silver. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Its Steam review count passes 22 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Completionists have 59 achievements to work through. An age check at 18 sits in front of the store page. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. It is localised into 14 languages according to the store listing.

Why ISLAND is demanding
The ask ISLAND makes is moderate. Radeon RX 6800 XT (16384 VRAM) / GeForce RTX 2070 Super ( lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so ISLAND at the floor and ISLAND at the recommended tier are not the same experience. At 10 GB, system memory is undemanding. DirectX 12 is named, so ISLAND expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. 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 ISLAND?
ISLAND scales across a wide range of hardware. Radeon R9 390X (8192 VRAM) / GeForce GTX 1060 (6144 VRAM) is enough to get in at minimum settings, while Radeon RX 6800 XT (16384 VRAM) / GeForce RTX 2070 Super (8192 MB) and 10 GB of RAM is what it recommends for a smoother experience. Where you land mostly comes down to the settings you're willing to trade.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. ISLAND needs about 70 GB of HDD of free storage.
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.

Each card is compared against ISLAND'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.
