Casualties: Unknown launches today on PC: requirements, price and Steam Deck

Casualties: Unknown, the cave survival sim from Orsoniks, launches today, November 9, on Steam at 3pm CET, according to the developer’s official announcement. It is Windows only, and the minimum specs are very low: an Intel Core i3-8130U and 500 MB of space. The store page does not say which graphics card or how much RAM it needs, and that limits what we can measure against your PC today.

Casualties: Unknown PC requirements

These are the requirements listed on the Steam store page:

The recommended section only repeats that you need a 64-bit processor and operating system. The page also notes that 16x9, 16x10 and ultrawide screens are supported.

Which graphics card do you need?

Since Steam lists no graphics card, canirun has no reference to compare against. That is why the popular cards we check, like the GTX 1650, the RX 580 or the RTX 3060, show up as “Untested”. That does not mean they cannot run it: it means there is no official GPU requirement to grade them against yet.

The only firm data points are the processor and the 500 MB install, which is very little space. If your PC is on the modest side, games for low-end PCs has more options that are already graded.

Steam Deck, Mac and Linux

Valve has not verified Casualties: Unknown on Steam Deck yet, and with these requirements there is no spec-based estimate either. You can follow the game’s Steam Deck page to see when that changes. On Steam the game is listed for Windows only: there is no Mac or Linux version.

What the full game adds

According to Orsoniks’ announcement, after almost 3 years of development the full game brings:

• Layers 6 to 11, out of the 11 layers of the planet described on the store page.
• Three endings and three characters, each with its own playstyle.
• 40 achievements, plus balance changes, bug fixes and quality of life additions.

The demo will not be updated with these changes. The price is 22.99 USD with a 15% launch discount, plus some bundles to lower it further, and there will be regional pricing. The soundtrack also releases today: it runs over 3 hours, has over 50 tracks and comes in a bundle with the game.

Can your PC run Casualties: Unknown?

Here is how it lines up against 7 Days to Die, another survival game built around crafting:

Game	Rec. GPU score	Rec. RAM	Min. RAM	Your PC
Casualties: Unknown	—	—	—	?
7 Days to Die	8,000	12 GB	8 GB	?

As soon as GPU and RAM requirements are listed, the full game page will grade your PC against them.
