You might be wondering what it will take to run the upcoming next-gen game. Don’t worry; we will talk about Starfield file size and the system requirements in this article. Let’s get right into it!
Starfield file size and requirements
Bethesda has promised that players can enjoy an epic adventure toward humanity’s greatest mystery. You’ll need to make sure your gaming PC meets the Starfield system requirements to enjoy seamless spacefaring without suffering framerate drops.
The team behind the game has already made an official announcement for the file size and system requirements needed to run Starfield. You can find the detailed list down below.
File Size
The initial Starfield download size for PC is set at 125 GB, as informed on the official website and Steam.
- There is also one important requirement that you need to know: this game requires an SSD.
- An HDD is not compatible with running this AAA space travel game. If you don’t have an SSD, we recommend buying one to play Starfield.
It is recommended to have more than 125 GB of free storage. Yes, it does seem too big for a game. However, it must be stated that in the last showcase, the devs highlighted that Starfield would have more than thousands of planets that can be explored and hundreds of objects that can be collected.
