Nocturnal 2 is out on Steam: launch price and the developer's Steam Deck tip

Nocturnal 2 has been available on Steam since November 10. With the launch, Sunnyside Games shared two things worth knowing before you buy. The first is the price: $8.99, with regional pricing and a 10% launch discount for the first nine days. The store currently lists it at $8.09. The second is a specific tip for Steam Deck players. On November 10 we told you that the game has light requirements, with a GTX 750 Ti and 8 GB of RAM as the minimum. That has not changed.

Steam Deck: pick Vulkan and set the screen to 60 Hz

The official announcement recommends two settings for the best experience on the Deck:

• Vulkan: a pop-up menu appears when you launch the game. Select Vulkan there.
• 60 Hz: set your Steam Deck’s refresh rate to 60 Hz.

Valve has not verified the game for Steam Deck yet. Our estimate is based only on specs, not real testing. By that estimate, the Deck clears the minimum and grades C against the recommended requirement, which puts it between the minimum and the recommended. The details are on the Nocturnal 2 Steam Deck page. For more games on the handheld, browse Steam Deck games.

Nocturnal 2 PC requirements

The game is Windows only. These are the requirements from the Steam page:

Both tiers target 1080p at 60 fps. The minimum uses Low settings and the recommended uses High. Only the graphics card changes between the two: the CPU and RAM are the same. The game uses DirectX 11.

Which GPUs run it

Every popular GPU we checked clears both the minimum and the recommended. The GTX 1650, the GTX 1060 6GB and the RX 580 grade A against the recommended, which means Smooth. The rest of the list grades S, Overkill. That includes the RTX 3050, the RX 7600 and the Arc B580. If your PC is a few years old, you have room to spare here. You can find more games like this in games for low-end PCs.
