Back in June 2015, Bethesda announced the next installment in its popular first-person shooter/RPG Fallout series, Fallout 4, just months before the game would actually hit store shelves. The studio hesitated in announcing the game earlier because, according to Bethesda PR head Pete Hines, game director Todd Howard is a perfectionist and doesn’t like to reveal his works of art before they’re complete. Now there's just over a month until the game lands in our hands, and Fallout fans who want to play it on their PCs can use this short window of time to upgrade their rigs, if necessary.
On Thursday, Bethesda revealed the system requirements, providing both minimum and recommended hardware. The studio also revealed in a short FAQ that Fallout 4 will support Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers, pleasing those who detest the old-school mouse and keyboard setup (for shame!). Fallout 4 will also support Steam achievements, the FAQ says, and there will be a Pip-Boy app for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices.
“Digitally the game will become available on November 10, 2015, at 12:01 am (local time) in all territories (In North America, the unlock time will be 12:01 am EST), except Asia (available at 12 am on Wednesday, November 11th) and Japan (available at 12 am on Thursday, December 17th),” Bethesda states in its latest blog.
So, what are the system specs for PC gamers? Here are the minimum requirements:
- Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
- Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
- 8GB RAM
- 30GB drive space
- Nvidia GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent
And here are the recommended requirements:
- Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
- Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent
- 8 GB RAM
- 30 GB free HDD space
- Nvidia GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent
Those who insist on playing Fallout 4 on a console will need 28GB to 35GB of drive space to store the game files. The size depends on the supported language and territory. For a list of supported languages, head here.
