The latest Steam Survey indicates that 32GB of RAM is on track to become the standard for gamers, potentially surpassing 16GB by the end of 2025. This shift is attributed to the increasing demands of modern AAA games, falling DDR5 prices, and the trend of users upgrading their systems. Additionally, the survey highlights a rise in the popularity of 2560 x 1600 pixel displays and the continued momentum of Windows 11, which has now surpassed 60% usage among gamers. Meanwhile, the RTX 4060 graphics card remains a popular choice despite its limited availability. Overall, these trends suggest a significant evolution in gaming hardware preferences.
