Guardians of the Galaxy PC system requirements are less demanding elsewhere, fortunately.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy is out in a week, so theres not long to wait now, and ahead of its release the PC system requirements have been made available.

The spec has just been posted on Steam, with one of the most eye-opening elements here being the amount of drive space which will be eaten up by Guardians of the Galaxy. To be precise, youll need 150GB free to install the game. We'll show you how to build a PC These are the best Steam games We pick the best graphics cards

The full minimum and recommended requirements to run Guardians of the Galaxy on PC are as follows Guardians of the Galaxy minimum system requirements Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 64-bit Build 1803 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 / Intel Core i5-4460 Memory: 8GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 570 DirectX: Version 12 Storage: 150GB available space Guardians of the Galaxy recommended system requirements Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 64-bit Build 1803 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / Intel Core i7-4790 Memory: 16GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super / AMD Radeon RX 590 DirectX: Version 12 Storage: 150GB available space Analysis: Storage troubles ahead perhaps, but smooth sailing elsewhere

The big ask, as mentioned, is that 150GB stipulation for drive space, which
is a seriously hefty chunk. Its bigger than a lot of demanding contemporary games, and could cause some concern for those who have a smaller SSD in their system (or a fairly full solid-state drive, for that matter).

Indeed, Guardians of the Galaxy demands as much room on your drive as Microsoft Flight Simulator , which also takes 150GB (with full updates on board) given its hefty wedge of mapping data.

Other games which require 150GB include Red Dead Redemption 2, and Stalker 2 when it emerges next year . So, while these kinds of demands are far from unheard of, its unexpected to see Guardians of the Galaxy being so hungry for drive space, and grumbling around the lack of priority given to optimizing installation sizes has predictably been spilled forth online. (Sadly, there are doubtless a ton of issues and bug fixing which must be handled ahead of tweaking for space, and often game development deadlines are tight to say the least).

Otherwise, though, the spec requirements are easy-going enough, with a GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 570 being a palatable baseline on the graphics card front. For the recommended GPU, you only need a GTX 1660 Super or RX 590, and this
is for a game which promises to sport a load of graphical bells and whistles (plus, of course, DLSS should definitely help Nvidia RTX owners get the most out of the games frame rates).

The recommendation for 16GB of system RAM has become pretty standard these days, though its possible to run Guardians of the Galaxy with 8GB which is
the minimum requirement.

In our early time spent with Guardians of the Galaxy, we came away not quite convinced, but those first impressions could change when it comes to release (and its not like we didnt enjoy the game, either; its more a case of having reservations around the combat ). These are the best PC games of 2021
