Immunity Protocol system-requirements — Minimum and Recommended PC Specs

Updated 2026-06-11

Before deploying your sentinel into the neon-drenched channels of Immunity Protocol, you need to make sure your rig can handle the horde. This Immunity Protocol system-requirements guide covers the official minimum and recommended specifications for Windows and Linux, plus Steam Deck compatibility notes. Whether you are building a new machine or just checking if your existing setup can run this neon pixel-art auto-shooter, these system-requirements will tell you exactly what you need. The game uses Vulkan rendering for its particle-heavy visual effects, so GPU compatibility is the single most important factor in these system-requirements.

Immunity Protocol - System Requirements Overview

Immunity Protocol system-requirements: Windows

Immunity Protocol runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit. The minimum system-requirements target hardware from approximately 2014, while the recommended system-requirements are geared toward mid-range 2018-era builds. If your system meets the minimum system-requirements, expect 30 FPS at 720p with reduced particle effects. At the recommended system-requirements level, you can push 60 FPS at 1080p with all visual effects enabled.

GPU note: Vulkan support is mandatory. Integrated graphics may work if they support Vulkan 1.1 or higher, but dedicated VRAM of at least 1 GB is strongly recommended. Check your GPU's Vulkan support before purchasing. These system-requirements ensure smooth performance.

Immunity Protocol system-requirements: Linux

Linux users have full support through native Vulkan rendering. The Linux system-requirements are slightly more forgiving on the CPU side for minimum spec, but the GPU requirements remain equally important due to the Vulkan-only rendering pipeline. SteamOS 3.x and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS are the officially tested distributions for the minimum system-requirements.

Steam Deck Compatibility and system-requirements

Immunity Protocol is officially verified as Steam Deck compatible. The Steam Deck's custom AMD APU with RDNA 2 graphics comfortably exceeds the minimum system-requirements and lands close to the recommended Linux specifications. Players report a stable 45-60 FPS at 1280x800 with medium settings. The game's controller support works natively with the Steam Deck's gamepad layout, and suspend/resume functions correctly between runs. The 16 GB shared memory on the Steam Deck means the 4 GB RAM minimum system-requirements are easily satisfied.

Storage and Installation Notes for These system-requirements

Despite its visually rich neon-pixel particle effects and multi-biome environments, Immunity Protocol is remarkably lean on storage. The Windows system-requirements list only 1 GB of space, and Linux recommends 2 GB. This small footprint makes it an excellent choice for systems with limited SSD space or older machines with smaller drives. Installation is handled through Steam on both platforms with standard cloud save support. No additional runtime packages beyond Vulkan drivers are required — the SDL audio and input layers are bundled with the game.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immunity Protocol system-requirements

Below are answers to common questions about the Immunity Protocol system-requirements. If your specific hardware combination is not listed, check the official Steam community discussions for real-world performance reports from players with similar configurations.

FAQ

Can I run Immunity Protocol on integrated graphics?
It depends on your integrated GPU's Vulkan support. Intel UHD 620 and AMD Vega 8-class integrated graphics meet the Linux minimum system-requirements. Intel UHD 6xx series and newer, as well as AMD Ryzen APUs with Vega graphics, generally work at 720p low settings. Older integrated GPUs without Vulkan support will not run the game at all due to the Vulkan-only rendering pipeline.
Does Immunity Protocol run on Steam Deck?
Yes, Immunity Protocol is officially Steam Deck verified. The Steam Deck meets and exceeds the recommended Linux system-requirements. Players get 45-60 FPS at the native 1280x800 resolution on medium settings with full controller support and working suspend/resume functionality.
How much storage space does Immunity Protocol need?
The Windows system-requirements specify 1 GB of storage. Linux recommends 2 GB. The actual install size may vary slightly with updates, but the game remains under 2 GB even with all content — notably lean for a modern horde-survival title.
Can I play Immunity Protocol with 4 GB of RAM?
Yes, 4 GB meets the minimum system-requirements for both Windows and Linux. However, if you are running Windows 10 or 11, the operating system itself consumes a significant portion of that memory. For a smoother experience at the recommended system-requirements level, 8 GB is strongly advised, especially during high-density late-wave horde encounters.
Is a dedicated graphics card required for Immunity Protocol?
Not strictly — the minimum system-requirements accept Vulkan-capable integrated graphics like Intel UHD 620 or AMD Vega 8. However, a dedicated GPU with 2 GB VRAM is recommended for stable 60 FPS at 1080p with full visual effects. The game's particle system is GPU-intensive during large horde waves.
