Stellar Blade requirements

To run the Stellar Blade requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 75GB of available SSD space.

Stellar Blade is set to be a graphically intense game on PC with numerous enhancements over its console version, and yet the basic Stellar Blade system requirements are surprisingly low. That said, older PCs and laptops may have some issues meeting the game's basic RAM demands, and may require an upgrade if they're locked 8GB of RAM or lower.

Fortunately, the Stellar Blade minimum requirements only call for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, an Intel Core i5-7600K processor, and 16GB of RAM. Setting the RAM aside, this is a surprisingly low hardware demand considering the graphics we've seen of the game in numerous trailers. Unfortunately, it's unlikely you'll benefit much from Frame Generation of Upscaling at this hardware level.

To experience the game at its best and make use of all the new rendering tech, you'll need to meet the Stellar Blade recommended specs with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU, an Intel Core i5-8400 CPU, and 16GB of RAM. Overall, this isn't much of an upgrade over the minimum specs, but should net you a solid 60FPS on the "Medium" preset, according to developers.
