Bethesda Game Studios · 2023 · Open-World RPG
Starfield is Bethesda Game Studios’ space-exploration RPG built on the Creation Engine 2, and one of the more CPU-demanding titles in this list because of its heavy simulation load across procedurally explored locations.
Its recommended specs lean noticeably higher than similarly-scoped RPGs, reflecting that CPU-bound design.
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7-6800K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600X | Intel Core i5-10600K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X |
| GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti / AMD RX 5700 | NVIDIA RTX 2080 / AMD RX 6800 XT |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 125 GB | 125 GB |
| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
