Performance profile
Released in October 2021, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes 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.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes 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 — The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes 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

Savage and unstoppable, a nest of ancient and unearthly creatures has found a new prey to hunt...
