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 as recommended for 4K gameplay.
The game will leverage DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate. This follows the PS5 Pro enhancement patch released in November, optimizing the game for Sony's upgraded console. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any DLC at this time; Square Enix is focusing on Part 3 of the Remake project.
While initial PC specs were shared previously, Square Enix clarified the need for 12-16GB VRAM for 4K resolution. Other minimum and recommended specifications remain largely consistent, requiring a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, 155GB SSD storage, and 16GB RAM. Recommended CPU options include the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher, and GPU requirements start at Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent (with specific VRAM recommendations for 4K detailed below). Shader Model 6.6 and DirectX 12 Ultimate support are mandatory.
