Bethesda has just shared the official PC system requirements for its upcoming space RPG, Starfield. According to the specs, the game will require 125GB of free disk space, will be using the DX12 API, and will require an SSD.
Do note that a “normal” SATA SSD will be enough. You won’t need an NVMe SSD in order to play the game. And, let’s be realistic here. Is anyone gaming with an HDD and not a SATA SSD in 2023? So no, this does not seem unrealistic.
Bethesda has listed the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and the Intel Core i7-6800K as the minimum required CPUs. Moreover, the game will need at least 16GB of RAM to run. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 and the NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti are also listed as the minimum required GPUs.
Bethesda recommends using an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or an Intel i5-10600K with an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080.
Unfortunately, Bethesda has not listed the resolutions, settings and framerates that these PC specs target.
Starfield will release on September 6th!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
