Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Specs Demand High-End Hardware for 4K
With the PC release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth just two weeks away, Square Enix has detailed updated system requirements, highlighting the need for powerful hardware, especially for 4K resolution. The updated specifications emphasize the need for high-end graphics cards boasting 12-16GB VRAM for optimal 4K gameplay.
The game will leverage DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6 support, and DirectX 12 Ultimate. This PC port arrives almost a year after the PS5 launch, following a PS5 Pro enhancement patch that optimized the game for Sony's upgraded console. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any post-launch DLC, as Square Enix is focusing on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
Square Enix clarified previous specifications, specifying that 12-16GB of VRAM is recommended for 4K resolution. Minimum requirements remain largely unchanged, requiring a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, 155GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM. Recommended CPU options include the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or higher, while the minimum GPU requirement is an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent (with AMD Radeon RX 6600 or higher also supported). Note that Shader Model 6.6 support and DirectX 12 Ultimate are mandatory.
