Returnal PC official minimum and recommended system requirements, price, and more

sportskeeda.com:

So far, Returnal has been available exclusively to PlayStation players, but that's about to change with the hit title getting a PC release on February 15. Since there's less than a month left, PC players can now pre-order the game.

Developed by Housemarque and Climax Studios, Returnal was one of the best releases in 2021. However, accessibility is a major factor, as anyone without a PlayStation console cannot enjoy what it offers. With the title coming to more platforms, the developers have announced the official requirements. However, there's been a shift from what was disclosed earlier.

These requirements can be checked on the Epic Games Store and Steam, where Returnal is up for pre-order. Moreover, the pricing is also known, and certain benefits exist for all who decide to pre-purchase.

When the news about Returnal coming to PC was announced, the community was quite excited. However, the early excitement soon disappeared as the recommended settings asked for massive requirements, including a whopping 32 GB of RAM.

Since the pre-orders went live yesterday, players now have a much more precise idea of what to expect regarding PC specifications.

A noticeable change is certainly the amount of RAM in the recommended settings. For some reason, Returnal demanded 32 GB of RAM as a recommended requirement, and it's unclear why the initial demand was so high. However, things have changed since before the release, and 16 GB is much more along the expected lines.

The rest of the requirements are also as expected. As PC ports can utilize stronger hardware, the developers have introduced some exclusive features that can't be found in the PlayStation version.

Interested gamers can now pre-order Returnal on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
