Starfield PC specs: minimum & recommended requirements

Here are the PC specs and requirements for Starfield, as seen on the game’s official Steam page. We’ll be certain to update this should Bethesda offer up more benchmarks for different in-game settings.

The good news is that the minimum specs aren’t that demanding, requiring a graphics card that came out in at least 2017. As for the recommended, if you’ve got a graphics card from around 2018 or 2018 you should be good to go.
