SSD REQUIRED
In the minimum requirements it says "SSD REQUIRED". Is it really mandatory? Just because you don't have an SSD, you shouldn't install it or is that exaggerated?

SSD’s are so cheap these days. We’re talking under $20 in many cases. So the SSD requirement isn’t really a big deal, in my opinion. If you want modern features in games, expect to have to use modern hardware.

You should never play games on anything but an SSD. Your computer will likely hate you if you decide to play really demanding things on a spinning disc that saves memory. hdd is not the wya to go for gaming
no one should be using HHDs these days. infact even standard SSDs are becoming a thing of the past.

Aww, looks like I offended your sorry wittle feelings. But you're another case of outrage that could have spent your time far more productively, buying yourself an SSD instead of posting in outrage that an enhanced version of a game exceeds your TI-83 calculator's specs.

See, I'm not being hyperbolic. I'm not being nice, sure, but if you don't have an SSD in 2025, you haven't been playing games all that much. Even consoles have had them for like 5 years now. Once the reality of how much time you spent on loading screens kicks in for playing on HDD that long, you'll have an existential crisis

I have no problem with you trying to open my eyes to buy me an SSD, I just didn't think it was urgent since I don't usually have problems when playing, but I see that I have to move on, I got used to the usual loading times. Anyway, there really was no reason to be hostile and insult for the sake of insulting. ty all the same
SSDs are probably the fastest upgrade to PCs in the last 10 -15 years. Even older CPUs and GPUs don't show the gains that an SSD would show over HDD.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

It will most likely use DirectStorage which means to make use of the "faster loading times" you will need to install it on a m.2 aka nvme drive, Sata SSD's don't support directstorage.

So although a SATA SSD will work you won't have the "best" experience and I certainly wouldn't go trying a HDD save those for PS4 era games

for classics up to ps4 era they are fine, i personally don't, not even sata ssd installed, but yeah certain games still have their place.
Besides if people have the spec to play this game in the first place then they can sure afford a cheap-o m.2 as even that is better than sata.

"but i don't have a m.2 slot" if you have a spare PCI-e slot you can get expansion cards that allow m.2's

You'll propably experience a lot of traversel stuttering if you don't use an SSD now.
This shouldn't even be a real thread in 2025.
If you still don't have an SSD you have to worry about finding a job and becoming a proper human being. And not about how to play video games.
