Fallout 4 System Requirements announced

You don’t have to own the best PC out there to be able to play Fallout 4, the requirements are pretty fair!

Bethesda has just released the official minimum PC system requirements for Fallout 4, and I have to say, they are much more forgiving than I would have expected. The “recommended” specs are a bit beefier, but if you just want to play the game you should be able to on a fairly mid-range box.

For your reference:

Minimum:
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
8 GB RAM
30 GB free HDD space
NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent

Recommended:
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

Additionally, Bethesda also revealed a bit of information about the game’s PC launch. 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).

You’ll also be able to plug in an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller to your PC and play the game with it right from the get-go.
