Official Outriders system requirements demand an RTX 3080 for ultra

If you want to run Outriders at its very best, you’ll need an RTX 3080 or RX 6800XT, the finalized system requirements confirm. That’s about as demanding as it gets right now, and most people still can’t get their hands on the latest GPUs. But as long as you're not trying to run the game at 4K ultra, the requirements are pretty reasonable.

That Ultra setting lists the hardware it takes to run Outriders at 4K and 60 fps. The rest of the specs are below, but you’ll be after an i7-10700K / Ryzen 7 3700X on the CPU side of things to max everything out. The low preset should be manageable for most players: to run it at 720p and 60 fps, you’ll just need a GTX 750Ti / R9 270x, 8GB RAM, and a decent CPU made in the last eight years.

 Without further ado, here are system requirements in all their detail: 

Minimum requirements for Outriders | Low preset (720p, 60fps) 

•  CPU: Intel i5-3470 / AMD FX-8350 
•  Memory: 8GB

If you can run it, and are keen to jump into the game the moment it launches on April 1, here are the Outriders unlock times per region. If you're wondering about builds, here are the best Trickster builds in Outriders.

Based on the demo, Outriders is in a pretty good place. “A generic-looking bunch of sci-fi supersoldiers darting between cover might not scream Next Big Thing in 2021,” Andi wrote, “but it's the stuff they're capable of once you start tinkering with builds and see the crazier end of the loot spectrum that makes Outriders one to watch.
