Video Games Chronicle • • technology
Key Points:
- Upcoming PC game Cinder City, set in a dystopian Seoul, has become one of the first games to recommend 64 GB of RAM, with minimum requirements starting at 32 GB.
- The game, published by South Korean company NC, requires high-end hardware including an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and Intel i7-12700 or AMD Ryzen 7800X3D processor for recommended settings.
- This RAM requirement is notably higher than recent major releases, which typically recommend 16 GB, with only a few graphically intensive games suggesting 32 GB.
- The recommendation comes amid a surge in RAM prices, with 64 GB costing between $500 and $1,000, driven by supply issues and a lawsuit against major manufacturers for alleged price fixing.
- Rising memory costs are impacting the broader tech market, leading companies like Microsoft and Apple to increase prices on their hardware products.
