If your PC meets the minimum requirements (Intel Core i3-3220 or AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, Nvidia GTX 650 Ti or AMD HD 7850, and 4 GB RAM), you should be able to run The Outer Worlds at low settings with acceptable performance. However, expect lower frame rates and graphical fidelity.

For minimum settings, an Nvidia GTX 650 Ti or AMD HD 7850 is required. For recommended settings and a smoother experience, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 470 is recommended.
How much RAM does The Outer Worlds need?
The Outer Worlds requires a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. However, 8 GB of RAM is recommended for optimal performance and to avoid stuttering, especially at higher settings.
