Little Nightmares 3 runs great on modern GPUs. It is built on the Unreal Engine 5 and is exceptionally well optimized. Any RTX 40 Series GPU should be able to run it comfortably and provide an enjoyable CO-OP horror experience. With the settings below, you will enjoy the visuals as well as the thrilling storyline.

Note: The game appears to be using a very old iteration of the DLSS upscaling algorithm. Our findings indicate that using DLSS Swapper to switch to the transformer model results in the best image quality.

The settings below apply to RTX 4060 and up to RTX 4070, allowing you to play with DLAA while maintaining high frame rate figures. That said, with the 4070, we recommend going for the 1440p as the GPU is immensely capable and will provide a delightful experience.

Although the game is well optimized, it still has some issues. Starting with visual artifacts, shimmering becomes very apparent to the naked eye. DLAA fixes this problem, but still, the output image has considerable shimmering. If you drop down from DLAA and implement DLSS, the image will become even softer, which can hamper the overall visual fidelity.

With the RTX 4070 Ti and higher GPUs, playing the game at native 1440p or native 4K won’t be a hassle at all. You can comfortably use the ultra setting and enjoy the game.
