Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Specs Demand High-End Hardware for 4K
Square Enix has released updated PC specifications for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, highlighting the need for powerful hardware, especially for 4K resolution. Two weeks ahead of the PC launch, the updated requirements emphasize the need for high-end graphics cards with 12-16GB VRAM for optimal 4K gameplay.
The game will leverage DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6 support, and DirectX 12 Ultimate. This follows the November PS5 Pro enhancement patch, optimizing the game for Sony's upgraded console. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any post-launch DLC, with Square Enix focusing on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
Key changes to the PC specifications include the clarified recommendation of 12-16GB VRAM for 4K resolution. Other requirements remain consistent: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, 155GB SSD storage, 16GB RAM, and a multi-core CPU (Ryzen 5 5600 or equivalent). Graphics card requirements are an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 (or higher, with specific recommendations for 4K), supporting Shader Model 6.6 and DirectX 12 Ultimate.
