So the eagily anticipated release of Bethesda's 'Starfield' is due on 6th September and the system requirements would suggest you will need a pretty powerful system to get the best out of the game.
Ignoring the minimums (because who just wants a game to 'run') the recommend specs are a 10th gen core i5, or a 3rd generation Ryzen 5, an RTX 2080, 16gb Ram and an Solid state drive. Yes, you will have to have an SSD to run the game. It's suggested that the engine requires huge amounts of data as the game runs that simply can't be fed by a standard hard drive. With a 125gb as the standard install requirement you'll also need to consider a decent size one too as that 125gb is likely to increase dramatically as updates and mods are added.
If you are looking at investing in this game, and need help please get in touch. We can replace your hard drive without the need to upset your current setup.
