Not many games ask for so much memory.
At The Game Awards 2022, we learned that the third-person shooter roguelike Returnal is coming to PC. Finally, the requirements have been revealed and it turns out you'll need 32GB of RAM to fully enjoy everything the game has in store. The minimum you need to have is not that steep, but the recommended RAM is not what everyone can boast about.
Minimum requirements:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit (version 1903)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 (4 core 2.7GHz) AMD Ryzen 5 1500X (4 core 3.5GHz)
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB)
- Storage: 60 GB available space
Recommended requirements:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit (version 1903)
- Processor: Intel i7-8700 (6 core 3.7 GHz) AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (8 core 3.7 GHz)
- Memory: 32 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER (8 GB) AMD RX 6700 XT (12 GB)
- Storage: 60 GB available space
According to Steam Hardware & Software Survey, 52% of users have 16GB RAM, while those with 32GB make up only 13% of the Steam population.
Returnal might offer cutting-edge technology with ray tracing and other features that need a lot of memory, but it's also possible that Sony will lower the requirements if the players aren't happy with the news.
