Elden Ring PC System Requirements Revealed

One of the most highly anticipated games of the year, Elden Ring, is due out next week, and PC players have now finally got their hands on the list of system requirements. It looks like the game shouldn’t be too hard in terms of GPU since the minimum requirements are NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3GB) or AMD Raedon RX 580 (4GB).

The game will only take up 60 GB of memory, and it should be noted that the system requirements do not recommend an SSD. However, it goes without saying that an SSD will result in faster load times and overall better performance across the board. Other important requirements include a minimum of 12 GB of RAM. Elden Ring releases February 25, 2022 and will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

Elden Ring is one of FromSoftware’s biggest game releases and has been in development for a long time. An atmosphere of intrigue surrounds the game as FromSoftware brought in renowned writer George R.R. Martin to work on the game.

From the looks of it, early previews of the game suggest that Elden Ring will place more emphasis on clear storytelling compared to previous FromSoftware titles. Typically, Souls or even Bloodborne games challenge the player to piece together a story or narrative by reading in-game items and interacting with characters, but it looks like Elden Ring is going to be a very different matter.
