About

Orbital Shipyards, released in 2019, is an action-packed indie simulation game that encourages players to build their own ships and explore an expansive cosmos. This Early Access title stands out for its creative freedom, allowing gamers to craft vessels from imagination, embark on adventurous missions, and engage in space battles to seize control of their galactic territory.

In terms of PC performance, Orbital Shipyards is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of about 877 to ensure playable FPS. Players can expect smooth gameplay on mid-range systems, with a CPU score around 4381 and at least 4 GB of RAM recommended for optimal performance. Those with a modest setup, like an NVIDIA GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 460, should find the game runs well at decent graphics settings.

If you're a fan of building and exploration in the action genre, Orbital Shipyards is worth a play, especially given its promising early ratings and unique gameplay mechanics. For those looking for something different in the indie sphere, this game could provide a fresh experience along with solid FPS performance on capable hardware.

Performance profile

December 2019 release. Orbital Shipyards was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Simulation titles like Orbital Shipyards are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Orbital Shipyards runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
