Elden Ring’s minimum PC system requirements were added to its Steam page yesterday – and then promptly removed again.

While no one knows why the information was deleted just hours after it was published, those that managed to see the “minimum” specs before they were taken down again suggest they looked pretty demanding.

According to PC Gamer, the minimum system requirements were listed as follows:

    OS: Windows 10, Windows 11

  • Processor: Intel Core i5 8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
  • Memory: 12GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB
  • DirectX: 12
  • Storage: 60GB

While most can (begrudgingly, perhaps) accept that top-tier games may now demand 12GB of RAM, having that as a “minimum” seems a tad steep, as is the need for i5-8400 or AMD Radeon RX 580, especially when compared to the modest demands of From Software’s last title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
