The highly anticipated game of the last few years, Elden Ring, is almost in our grasp. The game is coming to all major platforms on February 25. Console players will be able to play the game straight away. However, PC players have to make sure that their hardware has enough horsepower.

The developer, FromSoftware, has revealed the official system requirements of the game. Surprisingly, the game requirements are somewhat low. If you have upgraded your PC in the last five years, you should be good to go.

Just like most games nowadays, Elden Ring will only run on Windows 10 and DX12. The game also requires 60 GB of free storage space. Though, the requirements suggest that the title is CPU-heavy.

For minimum settings, you will need either an Intel Core i5 8400 or Ryzen 3 3300X paired with either a GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580. Recommended settings aren’t too heavy either. For CPU, you will need an Intel Core i7 8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X. For GPU, you should be good with either a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX Vega 56.

The requirements are mentioned below in great detail.

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X

The developer didn’t mention whether the requirements are for 30 or 60 FPS. So, I guess we'll just have to wait for the release to know about it.
