Bethesda has shared the minimum and recommended PC specification requirements for upcoming post-apocalyptic multiplayer survival game Fallout 76 just in time for the pre-order exclusive beta starting next Tuesday October 30th. As these things go, the requirements are fairly tame and definitely do not require a top spec machine to run reasonably well.
Fallout 76 (minimum):
To get the game to simply run without all the bells and whistle you’ll need the following gear or equivalent.
- Requires 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6600k 3.5 GHz /AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5 GHz or equivalent
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 285 2GB or equivalent
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Storage: 60 GB of free disk space
Fallout 76 (recommended):
To view Appalachia in all its glory, the demands are a little higher, yet remain reasonable compared to other titles released this year. We aren’t talking GTX 1080 territory or even anywhere near it. The only real jump in specs are the GPU and CPU, and they are slight. They are as follows.
- Requires 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 7/8.1/10
- Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 3.6 GHz / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5 GHz
- Graphics: Nvidia GTX 970 4GB / AMD R9 290X 4GB
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Storage: 60 GB of free disk space
Fallout 76 releases on November 13th for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. In line with an exclusivity deal with Microsoft, Bethesda are running a second beta for Xbox One players, starting later today.
