Forspoken’s official PC system requirements reveal that players will need an RTX 4080 or an AMD RX 6800 XT along with 32 GB of RAM to play the game at 4K resolution with a constant 60 frames per second. Forspoken is one of the first triple-A titles to list NVIDIA’s 40 series graphics card in its official system requirements.
Despite requiring such a powerful system for 4K/60FPS, you can actually run the game at the lowest preset with a GTX 1060 or an RX 5500 XT. Players will be able to reach up to 30FPS at the 720p resolution with the minimum specs. That being said, the game will still require at least 16 GB of RAM.

Even the recommended system requirements for Forspoken sound powerful and expensive, yet it doesn’t guarantee a 60FPS experience at 2K resolution. Forspoken also requires 150GB of free space, which is a lot, even for a 9th-gen title. Plus, it was recently confirmed that the title would be using the controversial Denuvo anti-tamper feature on PC.
Forspoken will be available next Tuesday, January 24th, for PlayStation 5 and PC.
