What Until Dawn is
Until Dawn is an adventure game developed by Ballistic Moon and released in 2024. It was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation 5 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 5.
The premise, in the publisher's words
When eight friends return to the isolated lodge where two of their group vanished a year prior, fear tightens its icy grip, and their mountain retreat descends into a nightmare with no escape.

It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are drama, horror, mystery and survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 29 achievements to unlock.
Where it sits in the Until Dawn series
Until Dawn is the second of 3 entries we hold in the Until Dawn series. It arrived 9 years after Until Dawn. The next entry was Until Dawn 2 in 2027.
How it was received
Until Dawn holds a critic score of 78 out of 100. That places it above 59% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2024 averaged 76, so it scored 2 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 79, across 72 votes.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7 4790K / AMD Ryzen 5 1500x (or similar processor with AVX support), 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 / Radeon RX 470 (or equivalent card with minimum 6GB VRAM). An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 70GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Until Dawn launched on 4 October 2024, within three weeks of Silent Hill 2, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Metaphor: ReFantazio. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Silent Hill 2, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Metaphor: ReFantazio.
