Tribes 3: Rivals needs just 10GB of storage space and the rest of the system requirements look relatively undemanding too
I monitor my storage space like a hawk, keeping a strict regimen that means if a new, 100GB+ game is added to my system, I make sure an equivalent is removed to make room, keeping my PC in a state of zen-like equilibrium. Looks like I won't have to worry too much about Tribes 3: Rivals however, as the early access system requirements have been revealed and it only demands a relatively tiny 10GB of precious storage.
According to the early access announcement on the Steam community news page, not only are the storage requirements light on your machine, but the rest of the specs look pretty reasonable to boot.
The once ubiquitous GTX 1060 6GB sneaks in as the minimum required GPU (or Radeon RX 6500 XT for an AMD equivalent), while CPU-wise the Intel Core i5 4690 and AMD Ryzen 5 1500X are all that's needed, although there's no mention thus far of what settings and frame rates these minimum spec components should be able to achieve.
If you're worried your older GPU might not be up to snuff and are looking for a cheap upgrade, something like the Radeon RX 7600 or RTX 4060 would be a good shout to keep you well above the minimum requirements.
By the looks of the early access trailer it doesn't seem like Tribes 3: Rivals is pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity. It looks good for sure, but in such a high-speed competitive multiplayer game you're going to want your frame rates as high as possible to keep up, so relatively low minimum requirements and undemanding graphics are a boon for those of you still rocking older systems.
Other surprises include a mere 8GB of RAM as a minimum, with 12GB recommended. I'm not sure how many people are running an 8GB or 12GB machine given the low prices of DDR4 and DDR5 right now, but those of you running the more common 16GB should have no issues.
The recommended graphics cards are the RTX 2080 or Radeon RX 6700, still reasonably fast GPUs, although hopefully that means high settings and high frame rates from these still decent
