Starfield is just around the corner and gamers everywhere are leveling up their builds to make sure they get maximum gameplay with this potential game of the year! Below we're breaking down the minimum and recommended hardware specifications to ensure the PC you have or are shopping for is ready to explore the Galaxy.
Minimum Specs
- OS: Windows 10 version 21H1 (10.0.19043)
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 125 GB available space
- Additional Notes: SSD Required
This is looking like a pretty beefy game: the minimum recommended hardware for is closer to the midrange rather than low-end category, with 6 core CPUs and 8gb of Vram for both GPUs. While these specs will get you a decent experience on PC, they don't bode well for it to run smoothly on handhelds like the Steamdeck and ROG Ally.
Recommended Specs
- OS: Windows 10/11 with updates
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, Intel i5-10600K
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
- DirectX: Version 12
- Network: Broadband Internet connection
- Storage: 125 GB available space
- Additional Notes: SSD Required
The Recommended specs are even more intensive: while the CPUs recommended are still only 6 core they are much faster and more recent than the min spec CPUs. On the GPU front the Vram is still only at 8gb which should be a good sign for lots of users who bought 3060ti and 3070 cards.
