Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order PC system requirements revealed, recommends 32GB RAM

Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order is a galaxy trotting third-person action adventure set between the events of Episode 3 and Episode 4, as our hero bids to rebuild the Jedi Order. Saving the galaxy is the easy part though, you'll be needing a very high-end rig if you want to play Star Wars Jedi - Fallen Order at its highers possible graphics settings.

Interesting..

It’s been corrected to 16gb now.

There was no way this game needed 32 gb ram it’s not pushing the envelope in physics or graphics.

It would have only been poor optimisation or a typo. And we now know it’s the latter.

[Neonridr]

yeah, I smelled something fishy at first. 32 is waay too high.

[DarkOcelet]

I am pretty sure that 32GB RAM is a mistake. No game ever used that much and hell, even 16 gig ram is very rare to see in game's requirment. And looking at this game, it doesn't look that mindblowing to require such obscene amount.

[neutralgamer1992]

How much ram will next Ps5 and Xbox have? Any chance we get to 24? Since Xbox x has 12GB ram

GDDR6?

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

Next gen consoles gonna have 16gb ram which has been part of the devkits

[Orionsangel]

Have you played PC games lately? 16 ram is almost becoming the norm these days. Don't believe what anyone tells you. 8 ram is no longer enough for modern PC gaming if you wanna run full specs.

[DarkOcelet]

I have 32 gig ram myself and i play the latest and most demanding games and very rarely i see games use 16. Maybe that will change in Next gen but for now. 16 is sufficient enought]

[Sophisticated_Chap]

32GB is recommended, not the minimum requirement. I've finally started playing through Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and while monitoring everything with MSI Afterburner, I've been using just a hair under 12GB of DDR3 memory, so as we go into the future with newer games, I'm sure we'll see 16GB become a minimum spec in many new games, and possibly even higher, in a relatively short period of time.

[SegaGamer]

32gb? that is surely a mistake. If it isn't, then I expect this game to have some seriously poor optimisation.

EDIT: It was a mistake, it's been changed to 16gb.

[RizBiz]

Even 16 is ridiculous considering it looks worse than Uncharted 2 on the PS3.

[Kados]

Another detail to take note of, 8GB Vram on a 55GB install. Game is either tiny as sh!t, or is reusing so many assets even Bethesda would Spock eye it.

[Giblet_Head]

There is all sorts of red flags with this. Buyers beware.

[porkChop]

I don't think you understand how RAM or VRAM work.

[InKnight7s]

Vram is simply GPU, RAM is random access memory for the whole system to handle the OS and app things right?

[porkChop]

Yes, VRAM is random access for your GPU. But there's no correlation between the VRAM requirement and the game's total install size. Files are only loaded into your VRAM as they're needed. And when they're no longer needed they're purged/removed. So certain files will only be loaded during certain levels and areas, where they'll actually be on screen.

You could have a 100GB game with no reused assets, and the game could still only require 4-8GB of VRAM at a time. For example, most current games will continuously stream textures into your VRAM as you move around a level/area.

[Kados]

That is exactly my point. Think about it. Requiring 8GB of Vram means the game is loading up to 8GB worth of files into Vram at once. Given that Vram is primarily used for textures, how much of that 55GB do you think is taken up by just textures, assuming the game is not recycling assetts and pre-loading all the games textures into Vram. A 100GB install with 4GB Vram would be far less likely to be recycling as they would have far more space for reserve textures, without digging into install space that could be used for other game files.

If they are not recycling and pre-loading, then expect the texture files alone to take up 30-40GB of that 55GB.

[porkChop]

VRAM is used for a lot more than just textures. All graphics settings use up VRAM.

[Gaming4Life1981]

32gb ram.....wth are developers doing?

[AnotherGamer]

Its a typo, its actually 16gb ram.

[King_Noctis]

That is a bit too much tbh. Either the game is terribly optimized or it has have really, really great graphic, which is not the case based on the last few trailers

[badboyz09]

This game looks azz
