Recommended System Requirements for Starfield on PC

Recommended PC specs are also not drastic. I am due for an upgrade to match this, but let’s be real, GeForce has a 30 and 40 series out already (GeForce 30 series being released way back in January 2022), and below, you will see that RTX 2080 is the recommended GPU to have to play Starfield on PC. Hopefully, the optimization is splendid!

• Operating System (OS): Windows 10/11 with updates
• Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, Intel i5-10600K
• Memory (RAM): 16 GB RAM
• Graphics (GPU): AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 125 GB available space
