Forspoken PC requirements: Here’s what you need to play the game

With Forspoken’s release less than a week away, the PC system requirements for the game are up on its official website. From the looks of it, the fantastical RPG seems to be a demanding title for PC gamers trying to get smooth 60 FPS gameplay.
The resource-intensiveness of Forspoken is exemplified by the fact that even a combination of 8th-gen Core i7, RTX 3070, and 24GB RAM won’t be sufficient for playing the game at a smooth frame rate. For getting higher frames, a USP that PC gaming is known for, users will need a 12th-gen Core i7 processor, the latest RTX 4080 graphic card, 32GB RAM, and an NVMe SSD.

When it comes to Forspoken, 60 FPS gameplay appears to be a luxury to be enjoyed by high-end gaming PCs only. While mid-range gaming rigs would be able to render high visual fidelity, the experience won’t be of the same level in terms of raw performance. This, too, is assuming that the mid-range systems meet at least the recommended requirements listed in the table below.

Users will need either Windows 10 64-bit (Nov 2019 update and newer) or Windows 11 64-bit to run Forspoken. Besides that, the following hardware requirements will be needed to play the game across varying levels of graphic quality and performance.
