However, Elden Ring’s rumoured PC requirements may be more demanding than imagined.
Fortunately, Elden Ring does not need the most recent generation of Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards in order to operate. However, if certain apparently leaked “minimum requirements” are to be believed, anyone without a current PC may find themselves in a bind.
After being temporarily put to Steam’s shop page and then quickly withdrawn, as observed by PC Gamer, the new action RPG features work from Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki and Song of Ice and Fire writer George R.R. Martin.
It’s about time we learned more about the game’s system requirements, which are only a few weeks away from its release. A closer look at these specifications shows that they seem to be a bit wrong.

These seem to be very high specifications, to say the least. From Software’s last game, “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,” had a minimum system requirement of an Intel Core i3-2100 processor from 2011, or an AMD FX-6300 processor dating from 2021, with the minimum GPU requirement of an older GTX 760 or Radeon HD 7950, both of which were four and seven years old at the time of the game’s release. The specifications listed above need components that are at least two years old, with the oldest one going back to 2017. In addition, 12GB of RAM is an uncommon number to mention in light of the prevalence of 16GB RAM rigs and the prevalence of 8GB RAM packages.
If these specifications are more powerful than anticipated, it’s feasible that they are the recommended specs. So, it’s possible that putting this information on the shop page was premature, and we’ll soon see a re-labeling of this information as the recommended criteria.
It’s also conceivable that these are merely the basic requirements. This is a PS5 and Xbox Series X game, thus it’s possible From Software has improved the visuals and other aspects of the game compared to Sekiro, a PS4/Xbox One game. It’s possible that Elden Ring’s high system requirements are due to its open world design rather than the discrete stages seen in prior From games. If the map were always accessible to the player, it’s probable that it would need a significant amount of computing power.
After February 24, you’ll be able to get your hands on Elden Ring, so perhaps the specifications won’t go for good this time.
