About

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game that drops you into the hive city of Tertium to fight endless hordes of enemies alongside your friends. Released in 2022 by the creators of the acclaimed Vermintide franchise, this action-adventure RPG combines fast-paced combat with deep character progression in the grimdark Warhammer 40K universe. The game delivers intense cooperative gameplay that rewards teamwork and tactical positioning.

Darktide is relatively accessible from a performance perspective, running smoothly on entry-level GPUs with a minimum score around 9638. You'll need at least 8 GB of RAM and a modest CPU (score ~607) to meet baseline requirements, making it suitable for mid-range gaming setups. For solid 60 FPS performance at higher graphics settings, a mid-range GPU benchmark around 15,000+ is recommended, though lower-tier cards still deliver playable frame rates at reduced settings.

With a respectable 70/100 rating, Darktide offers engaging co-op action for fans of the Warhammer 40K universe and cooperative gameplay. If you enjoy horde-slaying action games with friends, this title is worth checking out despite its slightly mixed critical reception.

Performance profile

Released in November 2022, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide 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.

RPGs like Warhammer 40,000: Darktide stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — Warhammer 40,000: Darktide 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 depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten an overwhelming tide of darkness. A heretical cult known as the Admonition seeks to seize control of the planet Atoma Prime and lay waste to its inhabitants. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
