Pete Hines, the VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda, has tweeted the minimum and recommended PC requirements for running Skyrim. As a game series known for beating up otherwise respectable hardware, the new installment is looking very accessible indeed; even if your gaming rig isn’t on the bleeding edge.

The requirements are as follows:

minimum

• Dual-core CPU, 2.0 GHz or faster
• 2 GB RAM
• DirectX 9.0c video card with 512 MB RAM
• 6 GB HDD space
• Windows XP/Vista/7 [32 or 64-bit]
• Internet access for Steam activation

recommended

• Quad-core CPU
• 4 GB RAM
• DirectX 9.0c video card with 1 GB RAM – GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher
• 6 GB HDD space
• Windows XP/Vista/7 [32 or 64-bit]
• Internet access for Steam activation

He goes on to clarify that “The Min specs get you playing. The recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You’ll want beefier rig for that.”

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is slated for release on November 11th on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
