Like obviously not for newer cutting edge games but for newer indie games and older AAA games?

I have literally only ever seen 2 games that required an SSD in their minimum requirement specs: Starfield and the Oblivion Remaster.

So you're probably good if you don't plan on playing any newer Bethesda games ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Although not required, most games benefit massively from being played off a SSD .

World of tanks for example, an SSD is the difference between loading in during the count down. Or showing up in game after the match has already started...

BG3 requires an SSD
