FF7 Rebirth PC Spec Drop

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Specs Demand High-End Hardware for 4K

Square Enix has released updated PC specifications for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, revealing a significant need for high-end hardware, especially for 4K resolution. Just two weeks before the PC launch, the updated requirements highlight the game's demanding visuals.

To achieve a smooth 60fps at 4K with high graphical settings, Square Enix strongly recommends a graphics card boasting 12-16GB of VRAM. The game leverages DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate, explaining the hefty requirements.

This PC port arrives almost a year after the PS5 release, which recently received a PS5 Pro enhancement patch. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any post-launch DLC, as Square Enix is focused on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.

While some initial PC specs were shared previously, Square Enix has clarified that 12-16GB VRAM is crucial for 4K gameplay. Other minimum requirements include a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, 155GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM. Recommended CPU options include the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher, and the GPU requirements range from an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 (with caveats for 4K).

Notes:

• 12GB+ VRAM recommended for 4K (minimum & recommended presets). 16GB+ VRAM recommended for 4K (Ultra preset).
• Shader Model 6.6 and DirectX 12 Ultimate support required.

Game director Naoki Hamaguchi previously highlighted the PC port's superior lighting, shaders, and textures. While Square Enix mentioned Steam Deck optimization, no further updates have been provided. With the PC launch imminent on January 23rd, players can soon experience these enhancements firsthand.
