Can my computer run The Outer Worlds?

By Cliff Henjum October 19, 2019:

The Outer Worlds received official system requirements recently and just in time too! Obsidian Entertainment’s new RPG is set to release next week on October 25, 2019 and will be a one year long exclusive on the Epic Games Store. Obsidian Entertainment is best known for making Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity so this is leading to a lot of hype for The Outer Worlds. If you are looking to play The Outer Worlds on PC, then you will need a PC that passes at least the minimum system requirements.

It’s good news for PC gamers that want to run The Outer Worlds on their computers - the minimum system requirements are actually quite low, especially compared to other modern games like Red Dead Redemption 2. In order to play The Outer Worlds on at least Low Graphics settings, your PC needs to have at least an Intel Core i3-3225 or an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T for its CPU. Furthermore, you only need a GeForce GTX 650 Ti or Radeon HD 7850 in the GPU slot to pass the minimum requirement. Lastly, when it comes to memory, the requirement is also on the low side - you only need to have 4 GB of RAM.

There is definitely a significant jump in hardware needed when you go from the minimum requirement to the recommended one. The recommended specs for The Outer Worlds are much more similar to other games with 2019 release dates, such as Need for Speed Heat or Borderlands 3. If you want to run it with maxed out graphics, your video card needs to be at least as strong as a GeForce GTX 1060 or a Radeon RX 470. The recommended CPU models will keep a lot of computers from passing the test unless you have at least an Intel Core i7-7700K or a Ryzen 5 1600. The 8 GB of recommended RAM shouldn’t be an issue for too many folks so just take the system requirements test for The Outer Worlds to be sure!
