What kind of computer do I need to play Star Citizen?

Star Citizen aims to push the boundaries of what is technically possible in a 3D virtual universe. As such it requires as good a gaming PC as you can get your hands on.

What is the minimum spec computer that can run Star Citizen?

It's possible to playtest Star Citizen with an i3 (3GHZ) intel cpu, 8GB of RAM (2333 MHZ+), and a 1050ti NVIDIA 3GB graphics card. An SSD drive is an absolute must.

How much drive space is required to install and run Star Citizen?

Star Citizen is currently in active development and the drive space required to install the game is constantly increasing. Currently playtesters will need at least 72 GB free for the LIVE version of the game and double that if you want to also have the TEST Universe playable (when those versions are running. Additionally, some virtual memory space is also required.

This means that if you want the full Star Citizen experience you will need about 150GB free or just over half of that if you only want to play the LIVE version.

SSD technology (or M.2 and NVME) is one of the most important technical requirements in order to run Star Citizen with testable frame rates. If you have an HDD you should upgrade immediately.

These specifications assume a desktop computer. For laptop devices you will need significantly better specs for CPU, GPU and RAM.
