What are the system requirements to play Star Citizen?
Since the game is not yet officially released, nor even announced, it is not really interesting to set up a configuration to play it. However, if you plan to access the Alpha, 16GB of RAM is highly recommended, otherwise you might not be able to run the game, and you should plan for at least 100GB of disk space, twice that if you want an access to the PTU (Server for testing versions before their release on LIVE), preferably on SSD.
- 64-bit processor and operating system
- Windows 10 (Latest Service Pack)
- DirectX 11.1 compatible graphics card with 4 GB VRam
- Quad Core CPU with AVX instructions (Intel Sandy Bridge or later, AMD Bulldozer or later)
- 16+ GB RAM (DDR4 recommended)
- 100+ GB of free storage
- SSD strongly recommended
Please note that since the release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.17: Fueling Fortunes, the game will require DirectX 11.1 or higher. This means that it is no longer compatible with older generation graphics cards that do not have access to DirectX 11.1, nor with Windows 7. Please see the system requirements page for more information on the prerequisites.
