Estimated from the game's system requirements: the minimum spec targets roughly 30–40 FPS on Low, the recommended one 60–70 FPS at 1080p High. Accuracy ±15–20%. No ray tracing, DLSS/FSR or frame generation; laptop graphics at typical power limits.

We compare against the models the publisher named, using our speed score — a guide, not a FPS guarantee.
