About

Seeking Dawn, released in 2018, is a multiplayer survival VR adventure that transports players to a hostile planet far beyond our solar system. As a soldier navigating this unfamiliar terrain, players face relentless predators and challenging enemies, making for a gripping and immersive gaming experience. The game combines elements of adventure and indie design, providing a unique take on survival in virtual reality.

In terms of PC performance, Seeking Dawn has relatively accessible system requirements, making it playable on entry-level hardware. To achieve decent frame rates (FPS), a minimum GPU score of around 8380 is recommended, with an entry-level GPU often handling the graphics settings reasonably well. Additionally, you'll need a CPU score of at least 5237 and a minimum of 8 GB RAM to ensure the game runs smoothly, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in its challenging environment.

While Seeking Dawn has received a lukewarm rating of 50/100, fans of the adventure and indie genres might still find it worth exploring, especially if they enjoy multiplayer survival experiences. If you're intrigued by VR and ready to tackle the challenges of an alien world, it could be an entertaining addition to your gaming library.

Performance profile

July 2018 release. Seeking Dawn 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.

Seeking Dawn 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.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Seeking Dawn. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.

Storyline

In the 23rd century, mankind has spread to the corners of the galaxy. Having been pushed too far, one human faction has begun its fight for independence, sparking a civil war between the newly formed FCR and the domineering ACC. However, not all battles are fought on the front lines: as FCR operative James Weston, you've been deployed far from civilized space, sent to investigate the disappearance of an allied team on an unforgiving alien world.
