Cinder City Lists 32GB Minimum, 64GB Recommended RAM on Steam

3 articles · Updated · PC Gamer · Jul 1

Summary

  • 32GB minimum and 64GB recommended RAM on Cinder City’s Steam page have drawn attention because those memory demands far exceed typical PC game requirements.
  • RTX 2060 and Ryzen 5 3600 minimum specs look broadly normal, but the recommended mix of a Ryzen 7 7800X3D with an RTX 4060 makes the listing appear inconsistent.
  • 64GB of DDR5 can cost about $800, raising the barrier for players if the requirements are accurate rather than a placeholder or listing error.
  • NC subsidiary Big Fire Games has not given a confirmed release date, leaving time to revise the Steam specs or optimize the open-world shooter before its planned 2026 launch.
