As games get more and more technical find development, the requirements for the end user are going to substantially rise. Options like DLSS are a godsend because they take some of the heavy lifting off of your hardware to help ensure a better performance overall. However, not every game offers such a feature, and if you want to play Forspoken at the lowest possible settings, here’s what you’ll need.

Minimum PC Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 64-Bit (After November 2019 Update)
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (3.7 GHz or Better) or Intel Core i7-3770 (3.7 GHz or better)
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB VRAM
  • Memory: 16GB
  • Display Resolution: 720p 30 FPS
  • Storage: 150GB or more

While the minimum requirements wont break your bank purchasing PC parts, you’re only getting 720p 30 FPS out of this. So let’s take a look at the recommended specs for Forspoken.

  • OS: Windows 10 64-Bit (After November 2019 Update)
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.7 GHz or Better) or Intel Core i7-8700 (3.7 GHz or better)
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 3070 8GB VRAM
  • Memory: 24GB
  • Display Resolution: 1440p 30 FPS
  • Storage: 150GB or more

Recommended specs are far beefier in terms of raw hardware you’ll need to run the game. However, this will run the game at 1440p 30 FPS, so if you drop it down to a 1080 resolution you might be able to get some more juice out of your PC hardware.

Well, those are the minimum and recommended PC requirements for Forspoken. Check out our interview with the development team and how they created the world of Athia.
