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 a high-end graphics card with 12-16GB VRAM for optimal 4K gameplay.
The game leverages DLSS upscaling, ShaderModel 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate for enhanced performance and visuals. This PC port arrives almost a year after the PS5 release, which recently received a PS5 Pro enhancement patch. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, Rebirth will not receive any DLC at this time; Square Enix is focusing on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
While initial PC spec suggestions were provided earlier, Square Enix has clarified that 12-16GB of VRAM is recommended for 4K resolution. Other minimum requirements include a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 operating system, 155GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM. Recommended CPU options include the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher, while GPU requirements start at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent (with AMD Radeon RX 6600 or higher also supported, but requiring 12GB VRAM or more for 4K). Higher-end GPUs are recommended for ultra settings.
