Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: PC Specs Revealed

Two weeks before the highly anticipated PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Square Enix has unveiled updated system requirements, highlighting the need for high-end graphics cards with 12-16GB of VRAM for those looking to experience the game in 4K. These specifications ensure that players can enjoy the stunning visuals and detailed environments that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth offers on their PCs.

The game will leverage advanced technologies such as Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) upscaling, ShaderModel 6.6 support, and DirectX 12 Ultimate to optimize performance and enhance visual quality. This marks a significant upgrade from its initial PS5 release, which saw a Pro enhancement patch in November to take advantage of Sony's upgraded console specs.

Despite these updates and the upcoming PC port, Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will not receive any downloadable content (DLC), unlike its predecessor, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which featured the Episode INTERmission expansion. The developer is now focusing on the development of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, with more information to be released in the future.

The updated PC specifications released on January 6 by Square Enix provide a clear roadmap for players to ensure their systems meet the game's demands. For those aiming for 4K gaming, a graphics card with at least 12GB to 16GB of video memory is recommended. The game requires a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11, 155 GB of storage space on an SSD, and at least 16GB of RAM. On the CPU front, a multi-core processor such as the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher is suggested, while the minimum GPU requirement is an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent, supporting the game's use of DLSS for performance enhancement.

In addition to the hardware requirements, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demands GPUs that support ShaderModel 6.6 or higher, as well as operating systems with DirectX 12 Ultimate support. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has praised the PC version for its upgraded lighting, shaders, and textures, which are exclusive to this port. It's unclear whether the PS5 version will receive similar enhancements in the future.

While Square Enix had expressed intentions to optimize Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the Steam Deck, no further updates have been provided on this matter. With the PC launch scheduled for January 23, fans won't have to wait much longer to dive into the world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on their PCs.
