So without further adieu, your PC must be exactly this powerful to ride Bethesda’s latest atomic bomb like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove:

If you’d prefer to play Fallout 4 on the PS4 or Xbox One, you might want to know that the game’s installation process will require 28-35 GB of hard drive space. Fallout 4 will offer a number of different language options throughout the world and players in North America will likely fall on the lower end of that spectrum as the game only needs to support English and French. However, most European territories will support English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, which necessitates a larger install size.
Whichever platform you use to play Fallout 4, it’ll be available on November 10… except if you’re located in Asia (where it’ll be released on November 11) or Japan (which has to wait until December 17).
