No Rest for the Wicked PC requirements

Here are the minimum and recommended specs for No Rest for the Wicked from its official Steam Page as well as the average performance you can expect with them:

Minimum PC specs

With these minimum specs, No Rest for the Wicked should run in 1080p at 30 FPS:

• Graphics Setting – Performance
• GPU – Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Raedon RX VEGA 56
• CPU – Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
• RAM – 16 GB

Recommended PC specs

With these recommended specs, No Rest for the Wicked should run in 1080p at 60 FPS:

• Graphics Setting – Quality
• GPU – Nvidia GeForce GTX 3070Ti / AMD Raedon RX 6800 XT
• CPU – Intel Core i5-12600K / AMD Ryzen 7 5800
• RAM – 16 GB

While the minimum specs look just fine, the recommended specs having high-end graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 3070Ti and the RX 6800 XT overwhelmed many in the community. However, Moon Studios Production Director Gennadiy Korol has reassured that in their official tests, the game was running at over 60 FPS even with a GeForce 2060 graphics card with some frame drops here and there.

To all those concerned with these official specs which were deduced from a much earlier game build. The game plays much better than they would suggest, especially with quality adjustments in the settings.

We are seeing 60fps+ on 2060 in our testing. There will be some dips and a… https://t.co/10LNCjXM0C

All you need to do is tweak a few quality settings, and the developers will be adjusting the recommended specs even more in the meantime.

Korol further stated in a reply that as of Early Access, you shouldn’t expect over 100 FPS and even with a Nvidia GeForce 40 series graphics card, the FPS range will be 60-100. This is because the game is more CPU-intensive at this time, you might get slightly better performance based on your PC’s CPU.

At this point the game is more CPU bound, so 120fps will not be an easy target. We're seeing 60-100 in the team depending on areas of the game and how good your CPU is 🙂

Is No Rest for the Wicked Steam Deck compatible?

Yes, you can play No Rest for the Wicked on the Steam Deck which was confirmed by Genndaiy Korol ahead of Early Access launch. Not just the Steam Deck, the title will also run on other handheld devices like the ROG Ally.

We never thought we'd get this done in time for launch, but so many of you have asked and we LOVE handhelds – so our hard working @moongamestudios team has moved mountains to make @wickedgame playable on Steam Deck, ROG Ally and other Handhelds Day 1!

On the Steam Deck, No Rest for the Wicked should run on an average 30-40 FPS with a few drops to 20-25 during cinematics. The combat should feel responsive in this setting according to the developers, and locked 40 FPS might be available in the near future.

Korol suggests locking the screen rate of your Steam Deck screen according to your in-game FPS preference to get the best performance on the handheld. It is important to note that official Steam Deck verification from Valve is expected shortly, but you should get decent performance until then.
