Deadly Days: Roadtrip, Pixelsplit’s zombie bullet heaven, left Early Access on October 29 with version 1.0. It arrives after a year in Early Access and six major updates. If you already own it, 1.0 is a free update and your existing saves still work. If you are new to it, the requirements are low. It is $9.74 on Steam with a 35% discount, and it has 2,221 concurrent players right now.
Deadly Days: Roadtrip PC requirements
These are the requirements from the Steam page. Pixelsplit only published a minimum spec:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | Dedicated graphics card, e.g. GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570 | Not listed |
| CPU | Core i5-6600K or Ryzen 5 3600 | Not listed |
| RAM | 8 GB | Not listed |
| Storage | 2 GB | Not listed |
| OS | Windows 10 or higher, 64-bit | 64-bit |
On Steam it is listed for Windows only. The Mac section says “tba” and the Linux section is empty. Outside Steam, 1.0 also launched on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC with Xbox Play Anywhere, and on PlayStation 5.
Which GPU you need
The minimum asks for a dedicated graphics card, so integrated graphics fall outside what the studio lists. Beyond that, the bar is low. Every GPU on our list clears it, starting with the most modest ones: the GTX 1650, the GTX 1060 6GB and the RX 580. Further up, the RTX 3060 and the Arc B580 clear it too.
Steam does not list a recommended spec, so there is no higher target to measure your PC against. The reference point is the minimum: a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570 with 8 GB of RAM. If you want more games that run on that kind of machine, check our list of games for low-end PCs.
What 1.0 brings
According to the studio’s Steam announcements:
- Vampire: a new survivor who starts without a weapon but with a handful of bats. You gain another one with each level-up, they deal melee damage and they have a chance to steal life.
- Laz: a new boss, a former IT freelancer who stole a fast-food chain’s cleaning robots and built a robot army.
- 25+ new weapons and items, including a Flamethrower, the Grinder, a Hammer and a Lottery Ticket.
- New maps and a revamped base camp, with a coffee stand that starts your next run with increased movement and loot speed. It also adds 30+ new achievements and reworked tutorials.
- Hundreds of balancing changes, plus performance improvements and fixes.
From Early Access, the couch co-op mode remains, and it can also be played online through Steam Remote Play.
