Can I Run Outriders?

Released in 2021, Outriders is an action adventure game built by People Can Fly. Publishing duties went to Square Enix. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. With more than 46 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. At 5 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It carries 52 achievements. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in a science fiction setting, moving through combat arenas. It is played from a third person view. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments.

Why Outriders is demanding

Demand in Outriders is ordinary. The publisher has Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Outriders asks for 8 GB of video memory, so VRAM capacity matters here as much as speed. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Outriders at the floor and Outriders at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Installation is large at roughly 100 GB.

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

Can you run Outriders?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Free up space before installing Outriders: it needs roughly 100 GB. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, Nvidia GeForce GTX 750ti / AMD Radeon R9 270x and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.

Bottleneck: GPU

Large install. Outriders needs about 100 GB of free storage.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pRuns well1.36x
1440pBelow the bar0.77x
4KBelow the bar0.34x

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 Outriders'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.
