Handing you the keys to a taxi in an incredibly detailed Barcelona, will your PC be able to run Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator?
The latest in a long line of driving simulator games, let’s take a look at how powerful your PC needs to be to run the game.
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator on PC
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator simulates the city of Barcelona exactly how you’d find it in the real world. With a day-night cycle, dynamic weather that affects driving conditions, and fully simulated taxi interiors, you need a powerful PC to get the full cab driver experience.
Of course, not all PCs are built equal, with various combinations of components all contributing to running games at their maximum performance. So with that in mind, let’s check out the PC system requirements for Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator.
Minimum specs
We’ll kick things off with the minimum specs required to run Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator with stability. Anything less powerful than this will really struggle to run the game.
Here are the minimum specs required for Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator via Steam:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit (Version 21H1 or higher)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, 4 GB or AMD Radeon R9 380, 4 GB
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 6 GB available space
- Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
Recommended specs
The requirements above are the bare minimum needed to run Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator. To unlock the full potential of the taxi driving sim, you need a much more powerful rig.
Here are the recommended specs for Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator:
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit (Version 21H1 or higher)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- Memory: 12 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, 8 GB
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 6 GB available space
- Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
With Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator being a current-gen-only title, the recommended specs are higher than expected. Not having the game run on last-gen hardware, however, allows the developers to take advantage of the best technology to create a stunning game.
It’s also worth noting that both the minimum and recommended specs are subject to change closer to the release of Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator.
Where can I buy Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator?
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. You can add the game to your wishlist on both already, with preorders not yet available on PC. Extra bonuses are available for those who buy ahead of time.
Other major UK retailers, including Amazon and GAME, should also stock physical copies of the game for completionists looking to grow their disc collection.
Release date
We don’t have too long to wait to hit the streets of Barcelona.
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator will be starting the meter on 7 March 2024. That puts us just over four weeks away from launch at the time of writing. Those who preorder the game will not be given early access to Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator, so we’ll all be arriving in Barcelona at the same time.
With an incredible city to explore, a dynamic environment that’s ever-changing, and nearly 300 miles of roads to cover, Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is set to take the simulation scene by storm.
