Will Elden Ring Run on Your Laptop?
Be part of the hypest game of the year so far.
There's a lot of beauty in Elden Ring.
Elden Ring comes out Friday, and it's already a hit with critics. Whether you're a longtime fan of FromSoftware's games or someone planning on jumping in for the first time, it's important to know whether your laptop will run Elden Ring if you plan on playing on the go.
Preloading for Elden Ring began Wednesday, according to the game's official Twitter account. The 60GB download is a sign of how close the game is, and the required specs show how much power a laptop will need to run the title. Fortunately, FromSoftware made its newest game not so powerful that it would melt a computer.
Here are the published spec requirements for Elden Ring:
