Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Reveals Full PC Requirements

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. Just two weeks before the PC launch, the updated requirements reveal that a high-end graphics card with 12-16GB VRAM is recommended for 4K gameplay.

The game will leverage DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate. This PC port arrives almost a year after the PS5 release, following a PS5 Pro enhancement patch. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, however, Rebirth will not receive any DLC at launch; Square Enix is focusing on Part 3 of the Remake project.

While initial PC spec suggestions were offered previously, Square Enix has clarified the requirements. They now explicitly state the 12-16GB VRAM recommendation for 4K users. Other minimum requirements remain consistent: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, 155GB SSD storage, 16GB RAM, and a multi-core CPU (Ryzen 5 5600 or equivalent). An Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or equivalent is the minimum GPU requirement.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Spec Requirements (January 6):

Notes:

• 12GB+ GPU VRAM recommended for 4K (Minimum and Recommended). 16GB+ recommended for 4K (Ultra).
• Shader Model 6.6 or higher and DirectX 12 Ultimate support are required.

Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has highlighted the PC port's superior lighting, shaders, and textures. While Steam Deck optimization was previously mentioned, there's been no recent update on that front. With the January 23rd launch approaching, PC gamers won't have long to wait.
