This will clear up any memory issues that accumulated during long sessions of play, but it’s obviously not ideal. Especially because some players experience issues with memory consumption in very short playtimes.

You can also try changing some settings in-game. Some users report that the memory leak issues seem to alleviate or stop once they disable DLSS.

Confusing, right? DLSS should not correlate with RAM usage, but it’s still worth trying. Consider disabling it or using FSR2 instead, at least temporarily.

Alternatively, you might want to try using third-party tools such as Koshy John Memory Cleaner. However, the effectiveness of such tools is highly-debated.

Some users report no difference at all, while others will say that it completely fixed the issue for them. It’s worth trying out, nonetheless, as it might just work for you.

If nothing works, you might need to wait for the game’s developers to release an update to fix the issue.

Memory leaks are usually an issue with the game’s programming and there’s not much you can do to alleviate the issue if none of our other tips worked for you.

On that note, an update was recently released on May 4 bringing a large amount of fixes, including performance fixes. It might have fixed the memory leak issues, so try updating and playing the game.
