L.A. Noire available on PC in India next month

Rockstar Games confirms a November 8 U.S. release for L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition, which brings the main game plus all previous DLC to Windows, Steam and OnLive.


Rockstar Games moved pretty quickly with L.A. Noire. Usually the developer will release a console game and then wait a year or more before rolling out the PC version. Noire hit stores back in May of this year, and Rockstar already has a release date set for its PC counterpart: November 8 in the United States and November 11 in Europe.

The release is actually L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition, and it’ll be coming to Windows, as well as the Steam and OnLive digital distribution platforms. The title’s “complete” refers to the fact that this PC release will include all downloadable content packs available for consoles in addition to the main game. In all, that includes: “Nicholson Electroplating” Arson case, “Reefer Madness” Vice case, “The Consul’s Car” Traffic case, “The Naked City” Vice case and “A Slip of the Tongue” Traffic case. The whole package will retail for $49.99, which is pretty standard for a PC game.

Rockstar also released the specs for the PC release, which anyone intending to play it on their PC using anything other than OnLive should pay close attention to. It’s actually not a tremendously demanding game from a specs standpoint, which is surprising given the technical wizardry the game puts on display. To run L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition you’ll need:
