Nobody Wants to Die: what are the PC specs?

Nobody Wants...to play on an unsuitable setup.

If you’re into noir-inspired detective games with a hint of The Observer with a splash of BioShock, all wrapped in a cyberpunk vibe, you’ve probably been keeping an eye on Nobody Wants to Die. The dystopian game from newcomers Critical Hit Games has just released on console.

However, what about PC players? Well, it’s not due to be released on the platform for another hour or two (at the time of writing), so why don’t we get to grips with the hardware specs until then? Judging by the requirements, most modern systems shouldn’t have a lot of trouble, but here’s a breakdown if you are looking to play on PC:

MINIMUMRECOMMENDED

In a world…where nobody wants to die

If you’re unfamiliar, Nobody Wants to Die is described as an “interactive noir story” set in New York in the year 2329. The long and the short of it is: advances in technology have enabled people to essentially have eternal life. The game is being published by PLAION, the parent company of Deep Silver (Dead Island 2, Payday 3, Metro Exodus).

The plot follows Detective James Karra who’s tasked with helping young police liaison officer Sara Kai in pursuit of a killer who’s targeting the city’s elite. It sounds pretty interesting if you’re into solving crimes in the underbelly of a dystopian future.

As for the PC specs, they shouldn’t be too taxing for most users who keep their rig up to date every few years. We’re still in the 3000 series for Nvidia RTX graphics cards, and it looks as though you can even get away with running the game at minimum recommendations with an Intel i3 processor. Check the Nobody Wants to Die page for more information about when it’ll be available through Steam.
