Elden Ring: The official and complete PC requirements, minimum and recommended
Elden Ring
Bandai Namco and From Software have finally released the complete official PC requirements for Elden Ring, which now show the configuration features required to play the new game according to the typical split between minimum and recommended requirements.We had previously seen already a beginning of these indications, but the first requirements for PC presented only the minimum configuration, while at this point it is the complete information to be able to play even at higher technical levels, let's see what it is.
Elden Ring - Minimum requirements
OS: Windows 10 CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X RAM: 12 GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (4 GB) DirectX 12 Space Required: 60 GB Audio: Compatible with Windows
Elden Ring - Recommended Requirements
Windows 11/10 CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X RAM: 16 GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (8 GB) DirectX 12 Required space: 60 GB Audio: Windows compatible quite up-to-date but with a fairly accessible choice regarding GPU and RAM.
Obviously the requests for the recommended configuration are more demanding, but without being particularly expensive.
In the meantime, just in the past few hours, the notes of update 1.01 have emerged, or the day one patch for Elden Ring.

Elden Ring’s PC specs aren’t as demanding as you expect
We’re 10 days out from Elden Ring launching, and developer From Software has finally shared the game’s system requirements. Anyone who wants to play the game on PC instead of consoles will have to have a somewhat decent rig, although that may change in the future.
Minimum requirementsElden Ring‘s PC specs aren’t too far from the norm of modern AAA releases. In fact, compared to some other recent games it’s not all that demanding. Halo Infinite, for instance, recommends that players have a Radeon RX 5700 XT or Nvidia RTX 2070 to run the game above minimum settings.
Where Elden Ring‘s specs surprise is in its minimum memory requirement. Players are recommended to have 16GB of RAM, which is fairly standard. However, 12GB to run the game at its minimum settings is somewhat surprising, though shouldn’t be a problem for Steam users based on the latest Steam hardware survey. According to Steam, just under half of its users have 16GB of RAM.
While Elden Ring‘s PC specs aren’t too demanding, that could change in the future. From Software is leaving room for the game’s requirements to change, saying that the “Current specs are valid for launch day and may be updated in the future.” It’s not clear what could cause the game’s specs to change, although the most likely case is that it’ll simply take up more space due to patches and updates.
