What to know about this profile

These notes explain the main assumptions behind this game's RightRig profile. Cited benchmarks, when present, are listed under More detail. Not summarized again here.

Early Access profile (EA launch: 14 May 2026). Estimated from Unreal Engine 5 baseline, underwater survival genre, and official PC requirements — not from measured benchmarks. Official minimum targets 1080p Low 30 FPS (GTX 1660 6 GB); official recommended targets 1440p Medium 60 FPS (RTX 3070 8 GB). These are publisher declarations, not reproducible performance data. Upscaling is not claimed: no official confirmation of DLSS, FSR, or TSR was found for this build. The official requirements list a broadband internet connection; this reflects the optional co-op architecture — solo play is fully supported without co-op (developer-confirmed). Early Access performance can change materially between updates.
