The September 2026 Steam Survey shows 32GB has overtaken 16GB as the most common memory capacity among gaming PCs, according to a report by Tom's Hardware. The shift stands out because it happened despite a memory shortage that has pushed RAM prices sharply higher, suggesting gamers had already upgraded before costs climbed or are willing to absorb the expense.
Why now: The milestone is surprising because it happened amid soaring RAM prices caused by an ongoing memory shortage.
