About

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye is a first-person exploration and puzzle game released in 2021 that serves as the first and only DLC expansion to the acclaimed original. You'll venture into a mysterious anomaly in the solar system armed with only a flashlight, uncovering cosmic secrets through environmental storytelling and exploration. The game is renowned for its atmospheric design and mind-bending puzzles that reward curiosity and observation.

Running Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye is quite accessible for modern gaming rigs. You can expect solid FPS performance on mid-range GPUs like an RTX 3060 or RX 6700 at 1440p with high graphics settings, while even older hardware like GTX 1060 variants handles 1080p comfortably. The game isn't particularly demanding, making it excellent for benchmark testing across a wide range of hardware configurations without needing high-end GPU requirements.

Performance profile

Released in September 2021, Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

Extremely light — Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye 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.
