Starfield is on the horizon, and it's been a long wait since Bethesda first introduced this new IP in 2018. The launch is just around the corner on September 6, coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC. From what we've learned about this sci-fi RPG, it seems like it's going to be the biggest game yet from Bethesda Game Studios. To dive into its vast universe of hundreds of planets, battling space pirates, marines, and more, you'll need a capable PC setup.
Let's break down the PC specifications for Starfield:
