Overview of the Latest Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Specifications
- Square Enix has raised the bar for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s system requirements, indicating a need for high-end graphics cards featuring 12-16GB of VRAM to support 4K gaming.
- The PC version will take advantage of advanced features such as DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate.
In anticipation of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC launch, slated for just two weeks away, Square Enix has released revised system specifications. Gamers are advised to equip their systems with high-performance graphics cards containing between 12GB and 16GB of video memory to ensure an optimal experience at 4K resolution.
This announcement coincides with preparations for the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC, nearly a year after its debut on PlayStation 5. Notably, in November, the game received a patch aimed at optimizing it for the PS5 Pro, enhancing gameplay by harnessing the console’s improved hardware capabilities. However, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which featured the substantial Episode INTERmission DLC, the upcoming PC version of Rebirth won’t have additional downloadable content, as Square Enix has redirected its focus to the development of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. The company has asked fans to remain patient for forthcoming news regarding this much-anticipated title.
Following the reveal of the PC version specifications during The Game Awards, Square Enix has updated its requirements. It has been specified that for players utilizing 4K monitors, a graphics card must have a minimum of 12GB to 16GB of VRAM. Additionally, to run Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth smoothly, players will need a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11, 155GB of storage on a solid-state drive (SSD), and at least 16GB of RAM. The processor requirements include a multi-core CPU such as the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or a comparable model.
