Solarpunk holds a critic score of 76 out of 100. That places it above 54% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored 2 points below the year average.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 6 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 1660 6GB | RX 5500 XT 6GB. An 6GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

Solarpunk launched on 8 June 2026, within three weeks of 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Mina the Hollower. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.

Released around the same time: 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Mina the Hollower.
