Crazy – Cinder City recommends 64GB of RAM on its Steam page
64GB? In this economy? Cinder City’s PC system requirements call for a crazy amount of RAM
Big Fire Games and the publisher NC have listed Cinder City on Steam, unveiling its PC system requirements, confirming an insane 64GB memory recommendation. The game is a 3rd-person RPG shooter set in a near-future, dystopian version of Seoul devastated by mutants. Players take control of “Cinder Knights”, super soldiers who are humanity’s last hope. Players will take control of “Seven”, a Cinder Knight that stands at the center of the game’s story.
To our knowledge, Cinder City is the first PC game to recommend 64GB of system memory on Steam. For context, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X both feature 16GB of total system memory. Cinder recommends having more memory than a PS5, Xbox Series X, PS5 Pro, and Switch 2 combined, and that doesn’t include GPU memory…
GPU requirements are reasonable, though the game’s CPU and memory recommendations are nuts
Cinder’s minimum and recommended GPUs are low-end: an Nvidia RTX 2060 (6GB) and an RTX 4060 (8GB), respectively. However, the game’s recommended AMD CPU and memory configurations are absurd. This game recommends AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaming CPU, and 64GB of system memory. While this game’s minimum CPUs are much lower-end, recommending a Ryzen 7 7800X3D feels excessive. Additionally, asking gamers to install 64GB of RAM right now is certifiably insane. Have Big Fire Games seen how much RAM costs right now?
