Performance profile

January 2025 release. As a current-generation title, Driving Is Hard pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

Driving Is Hard is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Driving Is Hard; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

Jack sets off on a personal journey in a DIY bathtub car, battling harsh terrains that mirror his inner struggles. As he navigates through self-doubt, rising defiance, and eventual acceptance, he confronts his father’s critical voice. Through each challenge, Jack grows closer to reconciling with his past and finding peace, ultimately embracing his own self-worth and independence without the need for external approval.
