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 reveal that a high-end graphics card with 12-16GB VRAM is recommended for 4K gameplay.
The game leverages DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate for optimal performance. This follows the recent PS5 Pro enhancement patch, offering improved visuals on Sony's upgraded console. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any post-launch DLC, with Square Enix focusing on development of Part 3.
While initial PC specs were shared previously, Square Enix clarified the graphics card recommendations. For 4K, 12-16GB VRAM is strongly suggested. Other minimum requirements include a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, 155GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM. Recommended CPU options include the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher, while the GPU requirements range from an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent (with higher VRAM for 4K).
