Can I Run Wave Break?
Released in 2021, Wave Break is an action adventure game built by Funktronic Labs. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Builds exist for Linux as well as Windows. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Steam lists support for 9 languages. There are 15 achievements to chase. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Wave Break structures its play around levels players build themselves. It is played in three dimensions. The publisher supplies 12 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Wave Break is demanding
Demand in Wave Break is ordinary. The publisher has GTX 1080 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Wave Break at the floor and Wave Break at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The install is small at roughly 8 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Wave Break?
Wave Break is light on hardware. Its minimum, GTX 760 or equivalent, 2+ GB VRAM, 8 GB RAM, about 8 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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.
