This is a little unusual. Most games never explicitly say you need an SSD or a HDD - but Starfield does! This likely isn’t a hard limit, as recommendations are often just that, but I cannot help but wonder what would happen if the game is run on an HDD?
I don’t think its the first game asking for an SSD, plus they are quite cheap nowadays!
Makes sense. It’s time to move on from spinning disks people. SSD’s have been affordable for a very long time now.
Not having an SSD is a major bottleneck in performance for any system built in the last 7-10 years already. It’s really not an unreasonable requirement.
Here’s me who has been playing games on SSD for the past 8 years. Just wait until they start requiring M.2 with specific read/write speeds. :)
It would probably run like crap, along with super long loading screens and crappy FPS
Only other game that I know which has an SSD requirement is star citizen. It’s not really playable with HDD. Then again, it’s not really playable on SSD either, but that’s another can of worms.
