Cloud Imperium has just updated the official PC system requirements for Star Citizen. These new PC requirements are for the Alpha version of Star Citizen, and not for its final version. So, let’s take a closer look at them.
Star Citizen requires a PC with the ability to run AVX instructions. CPUs that do not meet this requirement will not be able to launch it. Moreover, the game requires a GPU with at least 4GB VRAM and a driver with support for Vulkan 1.2.
So, for running the game, PC gamers will at least need a Quad Core CPU with 16GB of RAM. Cloud Imperium has listed the Intel i7 and the AMD Bulldozer as the minimum required CPUs. Furthermore, you’ll need an NVIDIA GTX1060, an AMD RX 5700, RX Vega 56, RX 460, or an Intel A380.
Cloud Imperium recommends using a Quad/Eight Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU with 32GB of RAM. Surprisingly enough, the team hasn’t listed any recommended GPUs. All it shared was a “DirectX 12 compatible Graphics Card with 8 GB VRAM”.
It’s also worth noting that the game will now require 100GB of free disk space. The developers also recommend using an SSD for a better gaming experience.
A couple of days ago, we shared a video that showcased Star Citizen’s new Character Creator Tool. So, be sure to check it out if you haven’t already.
Stay tuned for more!

I do not see a hibernation chamber as a requirement for those alive today and wish to play this game in 2184…is this an error or have they not released the final spec’s for the needed model and specs of such a device?
It’s not announced yet but they’ll sell it to you too.
looking at a full release in 2050
You’re too optimistic
Yep, it’s a visually demanding but also beautiful game. And while performance will improve dramatically once things like vulkan renderer are fully implemented, they’ll come along side fidelity improvements that mask it.
The improvements in number of possible API draw calls between DX11 vs. Vulkan alone should provide a substantial performance uplift.
It makes UE5 a laughingstock in detail to performance ratio that’s for sure.
Eh, I wouldn’t go that far. UE5 can look and run amazing. Just finished Jusant and the lighting and geometry is incredible while offering very good performance.
no he’s right, the usage of UE5 does not justify the visuals in most cases. Jusant looked good played ok but lots of games like stray look just as good using ue4, 5 is just a way to get people buying new hardware. The ratio is definitely out of whack w 5. Robocop looked amazing sometimes, sometimes generic assets look bad or are repetetive.
Generic assets is a fault of the artists and level designers, not the engine
So when the game comes out next century ( around 2109 ) these system requirements will have been changed around 80 times.
Specs not for the final version, like there will ever be a final version lol
game devs-pubs got to be so terrible because of bootlickers like you, congrats
678 million dollars in revenue so far and the
backerss*ckers just keep pouring tens of millions of dollars into it every year for a game that probably never will be fully released. Beta is probably the end of the line for this mess.Sometimes I am embarrassed for my fellow gamers and their foolish spending addictions.
This isn’t even gaming anymore, Chris Roberts is pretty much running a cult by now.
These are the same people that are financing Squadron 42, which is the only thing I’m interested in, so that’s fine by me.
I hate when developers just say i7, as if that means anything. The earliest Intel CPUs that support AVX were Haswell IIRC, and the current i3’s (or even the 4C/8T i3’s of the 10th gen) are far more powerful than the top of the line Haswell (technically Devil’s Canyon refresh) i7 4790K.
Also lol that people still think Scam Citizen will ever actually release as a finished game.
Intel SandyBridge released in 2011 was the first consumer CPU to support AVX.
Minimum GPU list is strange and stupid.
RX 460 is slower than 1060, Vega 56 and RX 5700, so those card should not be even there.
Also 32 GB RAM… I bet you even 64GB can be not enough because they never fixed data transfer and ram leak.
The RAM issue of Star Citizen can be mitigated by increasing the following values on Linux:

Certainly! 😉
BTW, how about you help Greece/Hellas switch over to Linux, in order to save a huge amount of money your country is paying to Microsoft every year?
I’m sure your fellow Greeks would rather spend that money on more important things, like delicious (extra virgin) olive-oil.
At least think about it, okay?
I am damastaGR, not dapresidentGR!
The reason they are never finishing this game is very simple. They have been able to make way more money not finishing it than finishing it. The unfinished state keeps fans in a perpetual state of anticipation and any issues can be blamed on beta status of the game.
The target audience for this game are relatively wealthy middle-aged men, and they are bleeding them dry by selling space ships. It would be much more difficult to pull this off with a different demographic.
I guess wealthy explains, in part, the Ship Bundle for every ship in the game for the low, low price of only $48,000, This game has spiraled into a whole new level of stupid.
Stupid, it depends on the point of view. If they have plenty of fools, they aim to exploit them fully.
and is that a bad thing? I mean its not actually that expensive anyway. Go check how rich people spend money on stupidiest sh*t, like millions for some trinket or worse. Stop acting like its a big deal all the time with this fcking game, go see the world how it is
What a fantastic blog layout! For what duration have you been blogging? You make it look so easy. Both the general design and substance of your website are excellent.

certainly like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality nevertheless I will definitely come back again
These comments are hilarious. The game packages start at $45 USD and you don’t need to spend anymore than that to get into the game. A friend can just fly over and lend you a space yacht to fly or crew up, or even wire you in-game cash to buy any ship you want. All of us “fools” are busy having fun playing the game and the evolving experience. So by all means continue the hate. The salt amuses us.
You wouldn’t happen to be related to Joe Blobers would you?
how much money have you spend already?
Lol this means nothing without generations listed. It’s CryEngine though so you shouldn’t need a ton of cores just at least 4 fast ones and a solid GPU.
