The specs are exactly the same as the ones that have been up on the Steam page for weeks/months, in case someone was wondering if they'd changed.
Only a 2080 for recommended specs? Do they know they're Bethesda?
Do you?
This game will run fine on a 2080, by the time it's been fully patched and optimised by the modding community. Honestly, can't wait till 2025 when I'll be able to play the finished game.
That seems really low for recommended. Guess they really built it for consoles before PC.
Starfield was originally planned to be released 2 years ago. But when Microsoft took over they gave Bethesda another 2 year development time, which they mainly used for polishing if you believe the talk about that. In that case it's not surprising that the requirements are more comparable to games of 2 years ago instead of current releases.
Is ssd required even a thing? I mean sure it's faster but... Only?
With the way they reused, dynamically loaded assets before and tried to keep world seamless, they'd probably load\unload parts of these 125 Gb a lot, with this 16 Gb RAM requirement no less. They test it with SSD and make it so it doesn't have microstutter and loading problems on their target machine. Or, god forbid, loading screens when walking outside, like it was in TES3; or TES4 banning levitation and loading complex cities as different locations that won't work in a space sim etc etc. BethSoft had many problems with it already. I doubt it'd refuse to work, but if they build their game around it, the result is unpredictable. Bet, it'd load low-res LOD textures and only then replace them with okay ones. That'd probably ruin the spaceship landing – one of the, possibly, most demanding and visually sweet parts of the game. It looking great is their baseline here.
It will likely still have loading times hidden behind unskippable animations. (See the door opening animation in the gameplay reveal.) You're going to need an SSD to make that work.
It could make a sci-fi thriller.

yes, you guess it
black hole
HDDs have been holding back what you can do in open worlds for a while. It (and the PS5 specifically having an extra emphasis on hardware decompression to amp it up further) was the thing I was most excited about for current gen consoles. There were a lot of rumors that PS4 Spider-Man had to cap web slinging speed to allow the HDD to keep up, and we'll see what the movement options are in Starfield and how ships work (unless we know already and I haven't seen it), but even the jet pack boost thing could seriously strain loads in denser areas if it allows enough movement to feel good in opener spaces.
Whelp, it looks like I'm going to be CPU bottlenecked.
I have an older i5... how do you find out what model it is without opening the case? Is it in system section in settings?
Device manager will tell you the generation and model
They say 1070ti… will my 980ti run it??
Also I hope it runs on Linux
Someone said that those specs are for 1440p, so I still have hope that my 1060 6GB can handle it at 1080p.
A 1070 Ti is quite a bit faster than a 980 Ti. It also has 2 GB more VRAM. So hard to say how well a 980 Ti would run Starfield.
That's the part that they always leave out 😡
