How much RAM do you need for gaming in 2026: is 16GB still enough, or do you need 32GB?
16GB still meets the recommended spec of most 2026 games we checked on Steam. A few big ones ask for 32GB, and 32GB kits now cost 1.7 to 2.1 times what a 16GB kit does on Corsair's own store. What the games ask for, what RAM costs today, and when to pay for 32GB.
