Starfield PC System Requirements Revealed, Stuck at 30 FPS on Xbox

Bethesda has unveiled the first gameplay trailer for Starfield during the Starfield Direct after the Xbox Games Showcase yesterday, showing some impressive graphics from this upcoming sci-fi RPG. Shortly after, we got the confirmation from the Game Director, Todd Howard, that the game will actually be locked at 30 FPS, which does not sounds surprising, especially after the full PC system requirements got revealed.

Bethesda has put a lot of effort into Starfield, and it shows it the seen trailer. The team is also claiming that this game will have "the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game ever shipped," according to an interview that the Xbox Game Studios Head, Matt Booty, gave to Giant Bomb. He also added that there are a lot of people internally playing Starfield, and Phil Spencer, head of Xbox Games Studio, told the same outfit that the game had a much earlier release date, and was delayed twice, so hopefully we'll have a solid game at launch. Unfortunately, Todd Howard, also confirmed that the game will run at full 4K on the Xbox Series X and at 1440p on the Xbox Series S, but will be locked at 30 FPS on both consoles.
The first PC system requirements for the game have been posted over at the official Steam page, and while minimum system requirements do not sound that bad, an SSD requirement does raise a lot of questions. The minimum requirements include an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i7-6800K CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and either an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card. The recommended list raises those to an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or an Intel Core i5-10600K CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and either an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card. As noted, you'll also need 125 GB of SSD storage space.
Hopefully, we will hear a clarification from Bethesda about these PC system requirements soon.
