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 finalized the system requirements. The updated specs highlight a significant need for powerful hardware, especially for those aiming for a 4K resolution experience.
Square Enix strongly recommends a high-end graphics card boasting 12-16GB of VRAM for 4K gameplay. This recommendation underscores the game's visual fidelity. The PC version will leverage DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6 support, and DirectX 12 Ultimate for enhanced performance and visuals.
The announcement follows the PS5 Pro enhancement patch released in November, optimizing the game for Sony's upgraded console. However, unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, Rebirth will not receive any post-launch DLC. Square Enix has confirmed its focus is now on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
Here's a breakdown of the updated PC specifications (January 6th):
