Can I Run UBOAT?

Deep Water Studio released UBOAT in 2024. It is an action indie game, published by PlayWay S.A.. It offers a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. There are 51 achievements to chase. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam lists support for 13 languages. With more than 25 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Setting and environment

The game is set in the Second World War. Play is structured around one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and UBOAT has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. There are 26 official screenshots to judge the look from.

Why UBOAT is demanding

The ask UBOAT makes is moderate. GeForce GTX 1060 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means UBOAT scales hard with the hardware you give it. Disk footprint is light, near 71 GB.

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

Can you run UBOAT?

100%

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

Older hardware holds up here: UBOAT runs on modest graphics, with GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB (1080p Low) or AMD equivalents enough to meet the minimum. Add 6 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Large install. UBOAT needs about 71 GB of HDD of free storage.

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.

Each card is compared against UBOAT'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.
