About
Outlast is a first-person survival horror game released in 2013 that puts you in the shoes of investigative journalist Miles Upshur exploring the disturbing Mount Massive Asylum. The game emphasizes stealth and evasion rather than combat, forcing you to hide and run from dangerous threats while uncovering dark secrets. Developed by veterans from major franchises, Outlast carved out a notable place in the indie horror scene with its intense atmosphere and relentless pacing.
Outlast is highly accessible on modern PC hardware, making it an excellent benchmark title for older or budget systems. The game runs smoothly on integrated graphics and mid-range GPUs, easily achieving 60+ FPS on high settings with systems from the last decade. Even modest GPUs like the GTX 960 or RX 470 will handle maximum graphics settings without issues, while older hardware can still maintain solid performance by adjusting graphics settings downward.
If you enjoy psychological horror and tense survival gameplay, Outlast's 77/100 rating reflects a compelling experience that still holds up well today. The game's lean performance requirements make it perfect for testing older GPUs or establishing baseline benchmarks across your hardware.
Performance profile
Released in September 2013, Outlast sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.
Outlast is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Extremely light — Outlast 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.
Storyline
In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, the asylum has been operating in strict secrecy… until now. Acting on a tip from an anonymous source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks a terrifying line between science and religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive. Outlast is a true survival horror experience which aims to show that the most terrifying monsters of all come from the human mind.
