We already have requests for Starfield, one of Bethesda’s most anticipated games and one of the great exclusives coming to Xbox Series S-Series X and PC. I’m sure you remember that last March I shared with you an estimate of these requirements and finally the final requirements were higher than expected.

It is quite normal that the requirements of Starfield are high, since it will be an exclusive game for the current generation of consoles and PC. However, it should be considered that the minimum base, the minimum hardware, is the Xbox Series S, and that this console has a GPU that in raw performance It does not reach the level of the Radeon RX 6500 XTso I think the official requirements are somewhat inflated.

However, we’ll have to wait to try Starfield to draw conclusions about the actual state of the game’s optimization as well as its resulting graphical quality, although from what we’ve had the chance to see in the latest real-world gameplay scenes that Bethesda has shown, it looks really good.

Minimum star field requirements

• Windows 10 version 22H2.
• Ryzen 5 2500X or Intel Core i7-6800K processor. There is an equivalence error, the first has 4 cores and 8 threads, the second has 6 cores and 12 threads. The right thing would be an Intel Core i7-6700.
• 16 GB of RAM.
• Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card. In terms of raw performance, the most correct equivalent of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti would be the Radeon RX 5600 XT.
• DirectX 12.
• Requires an SSD with 125 GB of free space.

It should be possible to continue playing with these settings 1080p with low quality or maybe low medium qualitywhile maintaining a relatively stable 30 FPS.

Recommended Starfield requirements

• Windows 10 version 22H2.
• Ryzen 5 3600X or Intel Core i5-10600K processor. Six cores and twelve threads.
• 16 GB of RAM.
• Radeon RX 6800 XT or GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. Here we have another serious equivalence error, as the Radeon RX 6800 XT is raster equivalent to the GeForce RTX 3080.
• DirectX 12.
• Requires an SSD with 125 GB of free space.

With this configuration, the game should work without problems 1440p with maximum quality and overall smoothness and in 4K editing graphic quality, because we are talking about two graphics cards that are much more powerful than the one used by the Xbox Series X.

I remind you that Starfield will arrive September 6and which can already be pre-purchased on Steam.
