Square Enix has recently updated the PC system requirements for *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*, just two weeks before its much-anticipated launch on the platform. The game, which initially debuted on the PlayStation 5 nearly a year ago, now demands high-end graphics cards equipped with 12-16GB of VRAM for optimal 4K gameplay. This requirement underscores the game's intensive graphical demands, ensuring players can experience the stunning world of *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* in the highest possible quality.
In addition to the VRAM specifications, *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* will leverage advanced technologies such as Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) upscaling, ShaderModel 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate on PC. These features are designed to enhance performance and visual fidelity, catering to the needs of modern gamers seeking the best possible experience.
The updated specifications were released as Square Enix gears up for the PC launch, following a PS5 Pro enhancement patch in November that utilized the upgraded specs of Sony's latest console iteration. Despite these enhancements, Square Enix has confirmed that *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* will not feature any downloadable content (DLC), unlike its predecessor *Final Fantasy 7 Remake*, which included the *Episode INTERmission* expansion. The company is now focusing its efforts on the development of *Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3*, asking fans to stay tuned for further updates on this front.
The detailed PC specifications for *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* were initially shared after the game's port was announced at The Game Awards, but have since been refined. The game requires a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11, 155 GB of storage on an SSD, and at least 16GB of RAM. On the CPU front, Square Enix recommends a multi-core processor like the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher. For graphics, the game necessitates an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or a comparable GPU, aligning with its utilization of DLSS for improved performance.
