PC requirements for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is out, 32GB of RAM is recommended [update: corrected to be at 16 GB]

I built my new system this year with 32GB assuming I wouldn't need that much RAM for a good while. I can run Apex with a large document open in photoshop just fine. Weird.
To be honest game RAM requirement in gaming has been stagnant for a while now. 8-16GB RAM lastest a looooong time and we should be glad. PC that I built 5 years ago has 16GB of DDR4. Building upper tier PC in 2019 with 32GB should be mandatory, especially now that RAM prices are Okayish.
I've got 64GiB of RAM, but 32GiB is probably the sweetspot, so why wouldn't you? Now is a pretty good time for it too, prices have come down.
It's 'recommended' not 'required'. If they have found a way to make good use of additional resources, that's great! Memory should be used!
(Before someone chimes in with how "nothing uses ..." make sure you understand virtual memory and buffer caches.)
The minimum is basically a PS4/XB1.
Shit, aside from ray tracing the recommended is basically a PS5/XB4.
The game doesn't even look that good. Why is it requiring so much power? Very strange.
My system meets the recommended specs but still, this sounds a bit much.

Only around 5,5 % Steam users have more than 16 GB RAM and for the average player, there's basically no reason to go beyond that - right now
This has to be a mistake.
(Just spent $1500 on a new PC that doesn't even make rec specs for new games. Feels bad.)

What part of a $1500 PC doesn't meet these specs? You mean the ram? Because everything else should be no problem at that price. The only reason nobody put in 32GB in systems isn't because of price, it's because nothing requires it.
Surely the PS4 GPU is a bit stronger than a 650 right ?
The disparity between Min and Recommended is pretty big regardless and I think most people will be able to play it at 1080p/60 FPS pretty easily. Most games have pretty bloated recommended requirements anyway. I won't count on most people having issues running this at higher presets.
Yeah. I was mostly joking. I have a 3700x and a 2070 Super. I do only have 16GB of RAM, but I can't imagine that will bottleneck me in any real way.
Im building this month and bought 32gb in 2 16GB sticks and this worries me. I bought this much to have a lead on where things will clearly be headed.... Plus I browse on Chrome. Seeing this shit gives me chills because I dont want to use 4 dimms for 64gb.
Its pretty cheap atm.
Equivalent PS4 GPU is the HD 7790 and the Nvidia equivalent to that is a 650 ti. Going by today's standards, those cards are all roughly the same (crap).
I mean it's one thing having 32gb ram, it's another thing to have 32gb ram left when you have your browser open, maybe discord, some other stuff running in the background, etc (I think the 32gb requirement is probably untrue btw).
