Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a bleak fantasy world, moving through spaces built for exploration. Play is presented from a third person view. 7 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. That openness is what costs performance. Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves.
Why Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King is demanding
Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Disk footprint is light, near 15 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King at the floor and Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King at the recommended tier are not the same experience. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King?
Older hardware holds up here: Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 970 enough to meet the minimum. Add 4 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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.
