Sony's Returnal is coming to the PC soon, and of all the system requirements, the amount of recommended RAM raises some questions.
Sony’s Returnal is coming to the PC, and while it does call for a pretty decent computer, only one requirement really raises eyebrows — the amount of RAM.
The minimum specs, as shared by Steam, include an Intel Core i5-6400 CPU and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, which was, up until recently, the most common GPU used by Steam gamers. The 16GB minimum RAM requirement feels hefty when you compare it to the rest of the build, but it’s common in AAA titles. Looking through more games, the same trend continues — none of them ask for more than 16GB RAM, and a lot of them are capable of running with just 8GB, although most gaming PCs these days benefit from having 16GB.
RAM is a necessity for smooth gaming, but after a certain point, it doesn’t matter how much of it you have — at least not for the purpose of gaming alone. It may improve your loading times, but there is only so much the RAM can do before stacking it becomes redundant.
