As we reported the other day the specs for PCs are being upped as PC Gamer dives deeper into. Here is a snip;
One significant change, at least symbolically, is the end of hard drive support: The amount of storage space hasn't changed but the new minimum spec says that an SSD is required, not just recommended. CD Projekt said that hard drives will continue to operate (and, in general, Cyberpunk 2077 will continue to run on the older minimum hardware) but active support for them will be ended, and future updates will no longer be tested on HDD-based setups.
Cyberpunk 2077 is actually the second game we've seen move to an SSD minimum requirement in recent days: Starfield's minimum system requirements also calls for an SSD. I initially wondered when Starfield's hardware demands were announced whether it was a mistake, but it seems that developers are simply embracing the many benefits of solid-state technology.
