With the June 24 release date announced for No Man’s Sky and PC pre-orders being taken on Steam, the minimum specs for the game are available, and they’re not too high.
Interestingly, we don’t have the “recommended” specs, yet, but here’s the minimum you’ll need if you want to play Hello Games’ survival space game on that PC of yours:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core i3
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: nVidia GTX 480
Storage: 10 GB available space
Being honest, these are surprisingly low. A GTX 480 is a fairly old an inexpensive card, and an i3 processor certainly isn’t top of the range. I’d be surprised, too, if a modern gaming PC didn’t have above 8GB of RAM, too.
