With the highly anticipated release of Starfeld just a few months away, many people are wondering if their PCs can run the game. The official minimum and recommended specifications include 16GB of RAM and 125GB of hard drive space, with an SSD recommended for faster load times. Interestingly, there are no indications of low-resolution options, suggesting that the game may not offer different texture packs. It’s also worth noting that an internet connection is recommended but not a minimum requirement, which is great news for players who want to enjoy the game offline.
When it comes to the hardware, there seems to be a preference for Nvidia GPUs over AMD GPUs, as indicated by the specifications. Additionally, it is mentioned that the Xbox Series X can handle the game at 4K 30fps, while the Xbox Series S is capable of 1440p 30fps. This information can be used as a benchmark to estimate the performance of comparable PC hardware. However, the specific resolutions and frame rates for the minimum and recommended specifications are still unknown.
In terms of upgrading hardware, it’s unclear how much performance gain can be achieved by going beyond the recommended CPU. The main bottleneck for performance is likely to be the graphics card, and doubling the CPU power may not necessarily double frame rates. The author encourages readers to discuss in the comments section their desired resolution and frame rate for Starfeld, their current hardware, and whether they plan to upgrade for the game’s release.
