Traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in computers are being replaced by SSDs, which offer significantly higher performance. However, many people still rely on HDDs for computer game installations. According to today’s news, this situation is about to change, and the era of mandatory SSDs will begin. Here are the details!

Games will now run on SSD storage units

With the recent news, it seems that a mandatory SSD era is starting for computer games. This change is reflected in the system requirements of games. When we look at the system requirements announced for Microsoft’s highly anticipated game, Starfield, we see that HDD is no longer included.

The company in question demonstrates that the game will only run on SSD storage units. Additionally, Cyberpunk 2077 is among the titles that require an SSD. Moreover, the game’s Phantom Liberty expansion will only be installed on SSDs.

It is believed that the steps taken by these game developers will serve as an example to other companies in the future. Furthermore, the majority of upcoming games in the following years will no longer support HDD installations.

This development will not be a significant issue for many gamers. This is due to the fact that SSDs are already integrated into some systems. We can see that Microsoft is particularly working to make SSDs a standard in Windows computers.

The company desired that all new Windows computers be sold with SSDs in the past years. However, it did not receive positive responses from the manufacturing companies regarding this matter. Therefore, the company seems determined to take action this time.
