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.

Reminder: do not pre-order video games. There is not a limited stock of bits and Bethesda will absolutely fuck up and fix bugs in a month. You can wait until you know it’s good or even for a sale.

How many games are in your backlog anyway?

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.

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?
