LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has strongly argued for why players should not write it off as yet another LEGO Star Wars entry. Instead, while LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is surely TT Games' definitive Star Wars-related installment, it also introduces many graphical overhauls and structural alterations to gameplay systems that redefine what traditional LEGO games are capable of.
With a release on April 5, fans will soon have their hands on this definitive 9-film adaptation installment. With LEGO Star Wars' most significant undertaking, there will be many hours of new gameplay connected to each film for players to look forward to. Leaked information has unfortunately started to appear only two weeks before its release, but there is still a lot to learn about LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga before its launch. However, an important consideration for non-console users has recently been confirmed.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's system requirements on PC platforms have been confirmed on Steam's store page. This information will not affect console players, but for anyone on PC this may directly impact the player's experience with the game depending on their own system's specifications. As is the case with many PC games, this could push the boundary for how graphically impressive LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga looks, or help it to run at an optimal performance for the player's own hardware.
Fortunately, the game will not require a GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card to run smoothly. As per LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's Steam store page, the following hardware and specifications are included as a minimum requirement on PC:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: GeForce GTX 750 Ti or Radeon HD 7850
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 40 GB available space
The following hardware and specifications are included as a recommended requirement for performance on PC:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core 15-6600 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: GeForce GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 40 GB available space
The differences between both specification requirements are not as stark as some fans are perhaps used to for many PC titles. Of course, LEGO games may not need the highest-end PC systems to run, and it seems that it will not put players back to be able to run LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at an optimal, recommended specification. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga looks to be TT Games' most cinematic LEGO game, and fans will be able to enjoy its refurbished graphical features soon with its release in just under two weeks.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga releases April 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
