Starfield and Cyberpunk2077 has stirred some discourse about requiring an SSD, but they aren't the first games to make the jump.
There are couple of games ruffling feathers in the world of PC gaming right now: Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, both of which require that you have them installed on an SSD. For the three-year-old Cyberpunk 2077, the change comes on the back of an overhaul to the system requirements in anticipation of its Phantom Liberty expansion, while Starfield is, well, Starfield.
Recommended Videos Starfield may be a sign of the times, but developers have been recommending SSDs in their system requirements for years. Just this year, every major AAA release has listed an SSD as a recommended spec. They’ll run on HDDs, but you’ll have a much worse experience between loading stutters and loading times overall.
I could understand an argument for supporting HDDs if SSDs were still expensive, but they’re not. A 1TB WD Black HDD is $48 on Newegg at the time of writing. A 1TB WD Black SN770 PCIe 4.0 SSD is $51. In fact, the SSD is actually cheaper right now due to a 10% off coupon code Newegg is running.
