Can I Run Until Dawn?
Ballistic Moon released Until Dawn in 2024. It is an adventure game, published by PlayStation Publishing LLC. The game supports a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 3 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. Steam lists support for 20 languages. It carries 29 achievements. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Cloud saves are enabled. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand.

Setting and environment
Until Dawn places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. That openness is what costs performance. Until Dawn has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. It is played from a third person view. 22 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Until Dawn is demanding
Demand in Until Dawn is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600XT in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. The install is small at roughly 70 GB, on an SSD. DirectX 12 is named, so Until Dawn expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Until Dawn names just 6 GB of video memory, so the bottleneck sits in raw GPU throughput rather than VRAM. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Until Dawn at the floor and Until Dawn at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Until Dawn?
Older hardware holds up here: Until Dawn runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 / Radeon RX 470 (or equivalent card with minimum 6GB VRAM) enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Until Dawn needs about 70 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
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 Until Dawn'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.
