The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is not a very demanding game by today’s standards, but the addition of high-quality texture packs and graphics mods on PC can drastically increase its hardware requirements.
The upcoming Skyrim Special Edition is a remastered version of the original game, featuring better textures and visual effects.
This also means that the remastered game has high system requirements compared to the 5-year old original title.
Bethesda has released the system requirements for the upcoming remaster, with the Special Edition requiring a quad-core processor and at least 8GB of memory.
Below are the official system requirements for Skyrim Special Edition:
Minimum
- Windows 7/8.1/10 (64-bit Version)
- Intel i5-750/AMD Phenom II X4-945
- 8GB of RAM
- 12 GB free HDD space
- NVIDIA GTX 470 1GB /AMD HD 7870 2GB
Recommended
- Windows 7/8.1/10 (64-bit Version)
- Intel i5-2400/AMD FX-8320
- 8GB of RAM
- 12 GB free HDD space
- NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB /AMD R9 290 4GB
It is important to note that Skyrim Special Edition will be a 64-bit application, meaning that modders will no longer have to deal with a memory limit.
Skyrim Special Edition is set to release on 28 October for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
