About Frostpunk
In an ultimately frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. The city ruler has to manage both the inhabitants and the infrastracture the citizens live in. Leader’s tactical skills face challenges, frequently questioning morality and the basic foundation of what we consider an organized society. Here optimization and resource management often clash with empathy and thoughtful decision-making. While city and society management consume most of the ruler’s time, at some point exploration of outside world is necessary to understand its history and present state. What decisions will you make so the society can survive? What will you do when pushed to the limits? And... ...who will you become in the process?
THE CITY MUST SURVIVE Frostpunk is a city-survival game where heat means life and every decision comes with a cost.
MAINTAIN THE HOPE Survival is about hope and will to live. Your ability to spark and maintain these two in your people will be a determinant factor for success.

How the Frostpunk optimization card is computed
Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). Your GPU and CPU selections map to comparable-class scores. The generator compares your hardware score against the game's demand to pick a starting preset, estimate an FPS band at 1080p/1440p/4K, and recommend an upscaler (DLSS / FSR 3) and ray-tracing posture. The output is a planning guide — always verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available.
