PC Hardware Compatibility Testing
How Quantic Lab and Steam survey data support configuration coverage.
How to use this information
A community benchmark should publish CPU, GPU, VRAM, RAM, storage, driver, operating system, resolution, preset and game version. Test district travel, crowded NPC scenes, menus and glowing fish because they stress different systems.
Official evidence
ION LANDS says external QA support is used to test a range of PCs. The selection is informed by real hardware distribution rather than only the developer’s machines, and the work contributes to minimum and recommended specifications.
What the confirmed data means
Compatibility is broader than average frame rate. Startup, input devices, aspect ratio, save behavior, font rendering and long-session memory stability all deserve separate results.
Publication boundary
Official testing cannot cover every custom PC. Meeting minimum requirements also does not guarantee identical settings, frame rate or absence of driver-specific bugs.
