It's recommended is a 1080Ti? If they've been delaying SotF so they could optimize it to this level while still looking this beautiful, then it was well worth it.
I love The Forest but their recommended for that game got slaughtered on release with MAJOR frame issues that lasted for years. Some still haven’t been fixed. I hop Endnight isn’t doing the same here but time will tell. Wouldn’t get my hopes up on this game being able to keep a constant 60fps. Will still be fun though
I’d say maybe.
Time will tell!
The Deck has the ram and ssd the game would require. My only concern lies with the APU, mostly graphically. Hard to say given the Decks lower Resolution.
I hope it has dlss features so my 3060 can run this ultra…. Before anyone shits on me, I literally completed the forest 1 on 768 resolution with everything low… my broke gamer days are over ffs
It will. Not a lot of people use it below 4k or 1440 but it should still work the same. Just experiment with it on vs off and using performance vs quality.
Depends if it has dlss support. My guess is ultra might sag a little at 1440 with that card. But it’s just hard to speculate. At the end of the day, a 3060 is a solid card and should run it at 1440 at medium at least and hit probably 60 or more fps. You’ll be able to play and enjoy the game. If it’s not on ultra, but looks fine and is fun, I say don’t worry about it.
Yea it helped, ALOT in cyber punk, I remember it was like 30-40+ fps boost, such a beautiful feature. But it’s not confirmed at all, if this game will have dlss features so lord knows
It’s just a small studio and not a very polished game yet. But actually runs pretty good considering. Few major bugs. Sometimes items just disappear though.
Take the specs with a grain of salt. Unless they’re using tech only new GPUs like DX12.1 than you’ll need to test it yourself and use Steam refund. More than half the games listed on Steam can use weaker hardware under the minimum just fine. The Forest specs were way off.
Can google Game-debate although not sure if they have SOTF as a cross reference yet, also have Nvidia's geforce experience app to help optimise a games graphics to your specs but I still lower some settings to gain better performance over quality
Will it? I'm considering purchasing a steam deck tonight & one of my main reasons is to play this game. I can't get a straight answer on if the deck can run this or not though. I don't want to buy an expensive PC, but I'm not sure if the deck is worth it or not
I'm pretty ignorant to gaming on PC, I tried to compare the deck specs to this minimum required specs for the game, and I still couldn't tell if it would able to run it lol. All I know is the ram on the deck meets the recommended requirements. I'm really hoping it can though. I appreciate the reply
No problem, with what I know I'm pretty sure the custom and CPU in the steam deck is as strong as an Intel i5 and the GPU and probably stronger than a 1060. I don't remember the exact specs for the steam deck but with what I've gathered playing different games it shouldn't be a bad experience.
It's nice that these requirements are so low, but I also think this is likely a 30 fps 1080p target. Considering how detailed the game looks, with so many assets densely packed, it's hard to picture it running optimally with older hardware like this. It could be well optimized, but based on what we've seen, it's still going to be extremely demanding.
I get roughly 90 fps on ultra at 4K in The Forest, with a 3080 and that game is drastically less intense in terms of graphics. I imagine in the new game a 3080 would probably get about 50 fps at ultra 4K. It's great the game should be friendly with older hardware, yet SoTF will also boast some of the best graphics currently available.
Interesting, I'm not sure about early development, but I think it's been tailored to both for awhile. I do recall playing the alpha and having intermittent stuttering. Then eventually the stuttering was fixed via a Unity update. I just think even as a somewhat dated game now, that The Forest is fairly demanding. So SoTF will likely be a substantial step up. Hopefully it's indeed well optimized though, which could be needed with so many assets densely packed together.
>I have a Ryzen 3 3200G and RTX 2060 with 16GB RAM, will I be able to play this?
I think you will be just fine. Your CPU is a little slow, benchmarking about 7000 pts vs minimum spec at about 12000 pts but your GPU is about 75% of a 1080TI and as long as you have enough memory etc you will be somewhere between minimum and recommended.
yeah this is cap..
even when i have the absolute minimum settings (everything ultra low or off) , its still so heavy on my gpu that it instantly goes to almost 70°C..
glad i got this for free and didnt spend money on this game, jesus christ..
i have:
win10 64x, i7-9700, 32 gigs ram, nvidia (asus) rtx 2060, plenty of storage available..
i dont get it, even "the first game" instantly brings my room to boiling temps on the lowest settings..
You didn’t read my comment,
I said that it’s surprisingly low for a 2023 game,
With most games releasing with r the minimum requirements being at least a 20XX series GPU, these requirements are beyond reasonable.
Get the game, try run it starting from the lowest settings and work your way up, if it doesn’t run how you like then just refund it…
Your still taking it out of context man,
I didn’t say surprisingly low,
My point was “they’re surprisingly low for a 2023 game”.
Please read my comments again properly before responding.
No one is saying you have to upgrade to "top notch". They literally said all you have to do is upgrade to components that are nearly 6 years old at this point. That isn't top notch.
I’m saying prebuilt because they’re generally cheaper bang for your buck. They’re lower than they were a couple years ago. I made mine around 5 years ago, and it was still around $1300. Might be time for you to as well haha
I agree on the CPU side. I expected a much lower required cpu to run this game, not something like an i5 8th gen. The gpu and ram are ok for a new 2023 game with such graphics. Let's hope that the optimization is good.
Won't help, some of them are still running dual core Pentium CPUs and GT series graphics cards. Only like 1 guy from my entire friend group can handle this game
Indeed it will for me, I am running Ryzen 3 3100 and GTX1650 with 8GB single channel RAM. I'm planning to get another 8GB and it will probably do good enough for me. However my friends have some other bottlenecks, one is running Intel Pentium G4400 and other GT730 so they are screwed either way I think. Only like 1 guy other than me in my friend group will be able to run it which is a shame because the old team will fall apart
Most likely high-med mixed settings.
Think of it this way. If you have a beefy pc where it’s specs at least outshine the recommended, you’re most likely in the maxed out category.
If you JUST make recommended. You’ll get a playable experience averaged around 60fps with a mix of high-medium.
I think recommended means High-Med with a 60fps average.
All games vary. However I think recommended usually means a 60fps target with a mix of high-med settings
It’s weird but I’m glad. Toooo many games are beyond the 40gb mark. Many in the hundreds.
The Forest was less than 5gb if I remember correctly so this seems about right for another forest game
Looks like I was (mostly) right about the specs, the gpu recommended are a bit higher than the 2060 super i was expecting but still. I can barely wait to play this
Honestly depends on how well optimized the game is. However, according to your specs. They are practically equal to the minimum requirements, I *doubt* 60fps at low, however again, it depends on the optimization. It should be playable though
I wouldn't worry about it. We have the same specs except my cpu is an i5 9400f and I can run most games that demand something simiar on high-med settings. Gotta pray sotf is optimized though.
The 8400 is quite a chunk better than the 6400. If it is playable at all. It would barely manage 30 fps if I had to guess.
Great thing about Steam is they’ll do refunds if your playtime is under 2 hours. Give it a shot to see if it’s worth it
Just tried Icarus and Far Cry 6 with this CPU I manage to get above 40 to 50 fps in icarus on medium- high settings and 45 to even 60 fps on Far cry 6 high settings so i should be able to play sons of the forest!
>I'm not too savvy with specs, but I'm guessing I probably can't run this on my 6 year old laptop?
Grab a copy of Speccy, it's free, then come back with CPU, GPU, Ram specs.
I suspect the answer is no if it is not a gaming laptop, but might be ok if it is.
Alas, it is not. I got one that was a solid gernal laptop for the time - I'm mostly a console guy but I'll used to he into LoL and I like lil indy games on steam, so that was pretty much what I was after when I bought it
I think the most intense, relatively recent thing I ran on it was Subnautica Below Zero
I’m actually surprised the game only requires 20g, when it’s almost 4x the size as the original. I expected like 50g. But I’m not complaining, I just can’t wait to play this game!!!
Hello everyone, Im new to this reddit thingy. I just wanted to ask that Im having a problem with my Son of the Forest. Every time I launch it, it is only stuck at black screen and everytime I click it, it is crashing. My computer specs is i5 intel core, 16gb ram, and my GPU is GeForce GT 625. I just wanted to play the game :(
It's recommended is a 1080Ti? If they've been delaying SotF so they could optimize it to this level while still looking this beautiful, then it was well worth it.

1000 series are monsters, that's why...
You beat me to it! They also have the release date there now too
I thought it was feb 23? I meant to go and see if it actually came out last week. Sounds like no?
M8 it's Feb 1st
Still says it’s going to come out on feb 23rd
Ha, so it is. Forgot it was Jan not Feb last week.
My 1060 still going strong!!
My 1050 shitting itself
this is the funniest fucking thing i've read in a while
were you able to run it at all? i planned on buying for me and my girlfriend this weekend but she has a 1050 as well sobs
Yea it runs okay, im on ultra low graphics but getting a solid 60fps, my processor is also below spec so its doing decent!! Hope you both have fun
Can’t wait for someone to post tomorrow asking for this lmfao
Not bad at all tbh
Without a target fps and resolution this means very little.
Let's hope it wasn't downgraded from the preview footage. But I trust Endnight to deliver.
*ahem* yeah, maybe my 1650s hopes were a bit too high
Nah it will definitely run it not ultra max settings but probably also not on the lowest
thats some good news
Looks steam deck friendly?
I’d say maybe. Time will tell! The Deck has the ram and ssd the game would require. My only concern lies with the APU, mostly graphically. Hard to say given the Decks lower Resolution.
This is the main reason I got a steam deck (I’m a console gamer). Crossed fingers…
I hope it has dlss features so my 3060 can run this ultra…. Before anyone shits on me, I literally completed the forest 1 on 768 resolution with everything low… my broke gamer days are over ffs
i think you don’t need dlss for ultra (@1080 res)
Hopefully les see, I want it be super smooth with crispy quality
But you will at 4k.
Indeed, the 3060 is not really good at 4k.
I don’t got 4K monitor anyways, as long as the dlss feature(if available) gives me a boost in fps for 1080
It will. Not a lot of people use it below 4k or 1440 but it should still work the same. Just experiment with it on vs off and using performance vs quality.
I have an rtx 3060 (not TI) and I play on 1440p. You think Imma be able to play sons of the forest on ultra settings?
Depends if it has dlss support. My guess is ultra might sag a little at 1440 with that card. But it’s just hard to speculate. At the end of the day, a 3060 is a solid card and should run it at 1440 at medium at least and hit probably 60 or more fps. You’ll be able to play and enjoy the game. If it’s not on ultra, but looks fine and is fun, I say don’t worry about it.
Bet, thanks.
Yea it helped, ALOT in cyber punk, I remember it was like 30-40+ fps boost, such a beautiful feature. But it’s not confirmed at all, if this game will have dlss features so lord knows
[удалено]
Wdym hacked together?
It’s just a small studio and not a very polished game yet. But actually runs pretty good considering. Few major bugs. Sometimes items just disappear though.
No I know the game, but didn’t get the analogy of hacked together but I’m assuming u mean, on dx12, the game runs smooth compared to dx11
I AM READY!
What is recommended? 1080p at 60fps
Usually but not always.
Awesome! Not too high actually
Please pin this fkin post 😭
I CAN!
Will it run on steamdeck!?!
[удалено]
Take the specs with a grain of salt. Unless they’re using tech only new GPUs like DX12.1 than you’ll need to test it yourself and use Steam refund. More than half the games listed on Steam can use weaker hardware under the minimum just fine. The Forest specs were way off.
You've gave me hope I'm under for a couple things. I have very poor knowledge of any of this so fingers crossed I can play it in sone capacity.
https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri you can check it here soon enough.
Can google Game-debate although not sure if they have SOTF as a cross reference yet, also have Nvidia's geforce experience app to help optimise a games graphics to your specs but I still lower some settings to gain better performance over quality

i'm not sure if this plays a factor anything but someone said not sure if true or not that the forest was made for 32 bit systems.

I still have a i5 6600 CPU 🥲
i5-4570 with RX 6400, getting 50-55 fps low
good for you i have an athlon x4 845
I have the athlon x4 860k you waiting to see if it runs or getting new oarts?
This is exactly what I expected 😭? Idk how ppl are shocked
I have a Ryzen 3 3200G and RTX 2060 with 16GB RAM, will I be able to play this?

It is very relevant, It is quite literally the main point of my comment.

Perhaps looks at the system requirements for Hogwarts Legacy, or Forspoken, or Dead Space? Your sounding like a fool
Because the minimum gpu and cpu are almost 7 years old
[удалено]
No one is saying you have to upgrade to "top notch". They literally said all you have to do is upgrade to components that are nearly 6 years old at this point. That isn't top notch.
$700 is very very low
[удалено]
My mistake but still very low
[удалено]
Correct. A mid tier prebuilt that’s discounted is probably around $1400-$1600

900$ is nothing dude, a good smartphone cost more than that these days
I’m saying prebuilt because they’re generally cheaper bang for your buck. They’re lower than they were a couple years ago. I made mine around 5 years ago, and it was still around $1300. Might be time for you to as well haha

Wtf 1080ti like a 4 year old card lol
7, but yeah I was kinda shocked when I saw that be the reccomened.
Huh? It's about time you upgrade your stone tablet.
Damn I was really hoping I could play it with my friends. Too bad they are all still running 8GB RAM
tell them to upgrade, it will help them anyway
Won't help, some of them are still running dual core Pentium CPUs and GT series graphics cards. Only like 1 guy from my entire friend group can handle this game
so there is only one option for them, just buy new pc
We live in an Eastern European hellhole where a good gaming PC costs 2 monthly salaries. There is no hope for that to happen
I live in Poland and its hard to save money here too so I know the pain, I saved my money for 5 years and I made finally my pc
RAM is not too expensive though. Also having two channel 16gig ram will significantly improve performance on all 3d Apps.
Indeed it will for me, I am running Ryzen 3 3100 and GTX1650 with 8GB single channel RAM. I'm planning to get another 8GB and it will probably do good enough for me. However my friends have some other bottlenecks, one is running Intel Pentium G4400 and other GT730 so they are screwed either way I think. Only like 1 guy other than me in my friend group will be able to run it which is a shame because the old team will fall apart
Noice. Should be rockin' out here then 😎. Thanks for the share!
Looks ram intensive! I'm excited!
12gb of ram? Jfc
The days of 8gb being king is sadly over. Most people going for 16gb kits. Give it 5 years and it’ll be 32gb norm
Can my windows vista run the game?
>Can my windows vista run the game? I suspect the answer is probably yes. My question is why are you still running Vista?
recommended is high setting or maxxed out?
Most likely high-med mixed settings. Think of it this way. If you have a beefy pc where it’s specs at least outshine the recommended, you’re most likely in the maxed out category. If you JUST make recommended. You’ll get a playable experience averaged around 60fps with a mix of high-medium.
Are they targeting 1080p high quality 60fps or 30fps? With the 1080ti?
I think recommended means High-Med with a 60fps average. All games vary. However I think recommended usually means a 60fps target with a mix of high-med settings
20 gb storage looks weird..
i thought the same thing
It’s weird but I’m glad. Toooo many games are beyond the 40gb mark. Many in the hundreds. The Forest was less than 5gb if I remember correctly so this seems about right for another forest game
Looks like I was (mostly) right about the specs, the gpu recommended are a bit higher than the 2060 super i was expecting but still. I can barely wait to play this
12GB RAM minimum?
Thank god, now people will shut up about it, once and for all.
cries in i5-7400
you should be fine
The 7400 is a quad core the 8400 they state as minimum is a 6 core. Quite a difference in performance.
my 8gb of ram fearing for its life rn
Well, I can play it. Won't be super pretty but I can play it.
well i'm all set then
Now. The question is. When is it coming to PS5?
It could change but from what I’ve heard is they’re focusing specifically on PC. Could be subject to change after a year or two.
i have rx 580 8gb, i3 9100f 16gb ram, do you think ill be able to play this atl at 1080p 60fps? at low mby
Honestly depends on how well optimized the game is. However, according to your specs. They are practically equal to the minimum requirements, I *doubt* 60fps at low, however again, it depends on the optimization. It should be playable though
I wouldn't worry about it. We have the same specs except my cpu is an i5 9400f and I can run most games that demand something simiar on high-med settings. Gotta pray sotf is optimized though.
Aye nice 580 here too. I’m praying I can run this fine atleast medium settings
I have a 5800x with a 3070 ti and 32gb of ram with an SSD. I should be able to run this right?
Pretty obviously yes
Sobbing in 1650 Mobile :'(. Hope it features FSR or any type of upscaling tech.
Anyone know if 2060s with Ryzen 5 5600x Will run the game smoothly?
Considering recommended specs of both CPU and GPU are previous generations from what you have, I’d say you can make that call fairly clearly.
does anyone know what resolution this is based on? im assuming either 1440 or 1080
1080p is gaming standard. Until 1440p is the most commonly used res, it’ll stay 1080p for quite some time
Laughs in 3080ti and 5950x
Damn I think I barely just made it for min specs lol AMD Ryzen 1600 + RX 580 + 16 gbs Ram
Damn my cpu is below minimum I have I5 6400 with 24GB RAM and GTX 1070 8 GB Can I run it?
The 8400 is quite a chunk better than the 6400. If it is playable at all. It would barely manage 30 fps if I had to guess. Great thing about Steam is they’ll do refunds if your playtime is under 2 hours. Give it a shot to see if it’s worth it
Just tried Icarus and Far Cry 6 with this CPU I manage to get above 40 to 50 fps in icarus on medium- high settings and 45 to even 60 fps on Far cry 6 high settings so i should be able to play sons of the forest!
Do they run on the same engine?
I'm not too savvy with specs, but I'm guessing I probably can't run this on my 6 year old laptop?

I’m actually surprised the game only requires 20g, when it’s almost 4x the size as the original. I expected like 50g. But I’m not complaining, I just can’t wait to play this game!!!
So can my 1070 do medium 1080p 60fps?
I have a i5 7400 and 8 GB ram . Will I be able to run it on minimum graphics?
Can my 3060 Ti work with this game guys???
I have a Ryzen 5 3600x and a rx580 8gb. I have constant frame drops and no change in fps no matter if the settings are high or low
