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 the need for powerful hardware, especially for 4K resolution. Two weeks ahead of the PC launch, the updated requirements highlight 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 a PS5 Pro enhancement patch released in November. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any DLC at this time; Square Enix is focusing on Part 3 of the Remake project.
While some PC specs were previously shared, Square Enix clarified that 12-16GB of VRAM is recommended for 4K resolutions. Other minimum, recommended, and ultra settings are detailed below. Note that a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, 155GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM are consistently required across all settings. A multi-core CPU such as the Ryzen 5 5600 or equivalent is recommended.
