About

Zero Sum Future, released in 2019, is a unique indie simulation and strategy game that challenges players to colonize a distant solar system. In this competitive multiplayer arena, up to four players build their corporate empires across a dynamic map of up to nine planets, employing tactics that can range from diplomacy to outright sabotage. The engaging gameplay and diverse strategies make it a notable entry in the city-builder genre, particularly for those who relish multiplayer competition.

In terms of performance, Zero Sum Future is quite accessible. The minimum GPU requirement is an entry-level graphics card with a benchmark score of around 530, making it playable on a wide variety of systems. Players can expect decent FPS even on modest hardware, with a minimum CPU score of roughly 348 and at least 1 GB of RAM to ensure smooth gameplay. For optimal performance at higher graphics settings, a mid-range GPU would be advisable to enjoy the game's visuals without compromising on frame rates.

Overall, if you enjoy strategic gameplay with a competitive edge, Zero Sum Future is worth exploring, especially if you appreciate indie titles. Its unique mechanics and multiplayer focus enhance replayability, making it a solid choice for gamers looking to test their strategic mettle against others.

Performance profile

October 2019 release. Zero Sum Future 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.

As a strategy title, Zero Sum Future is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — Zero Sum Future 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.
