The system requirements for Icarus may be too high for some gaming PCs to survive
Developer RocketWerkz has just revealed the release date of Icarus, as well as the type of hardware your gaming PC will need to secure your ticket to the game’s hostile wilderness. The Icarus system requirements are surprisingly high, especially in terms of Regarding RAM, but it’s a bit more forgiving on the GPU side.
Icarus is a new sci-fi survival game from Dean Hall, the creator of DayZ. You and up to seven other astronauts must work together to survive missions that can last from a few hours to several weeks. For those who think they’ll master the game’s challenge in no time, Hall said the development team aims to “add new items, missions, biomes, talents, and balance changes after launch.” Icarus will be a living and evolving game.
Unfortunately, no system requirements for the AMD CPU or GPU have been provided, but we have asked for feedback and will update this page as soon as we have a response. However, those with the best graphics cards and the best gaming processors from Team Red should be able to run the game well.
In addition to the settings below, your gaming PC will need to support DirectX 11 and run an updated 64-bit version of Windows 10.
Minimum | advised | |
CPU | Intel Core i5-8400 | Intel Core i7-9700 |
---|---|---|
RAM | 16 GB | 32 GB |
GPU | Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 | Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti |
VRAM | 6 GB | 8 GB |
Storage room | 70 GB | 70 GB |
You can pre-order Icarus with a 10% discount on Steam, but you’d better be quick, as it’s likely to come back at full price when it releases in December.
