Bethesda has announced that the remastered version of Skyrim which is due out later this month has gone gold, while also revealing the PC system requirements for the game.
Unsurprisingly, Skyrim Special Edition is a good deal more demanding than the original, which is five years old now (can you believe?), due to the amount of tweaking done to the visuals to bring the game up-to-date.
The minimum system requirements specify at least an Intel Core i5-750 (2.66GHz quad-core) processor or AMD Phenom II X4-945, with 8GB of system RAM. For the graphics card you’ll need at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 with 1GB of video memory, or an AMD HD 7870 2GB.
The recommended spec cranks things up to an Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD FX-8320, backed up by an Nvidia GTX 780 graphics card with 3GB on-board, or a Radeon R9 290 4GB. The amount of system memory stays the same as the minimum requirements, at 8GB.
The game is supported by the 64-bit versions of Windows 7, 8.1, and Windows 10, plus you’ll need 12GB of free space on your drive for the installation.
