Summary
Square Enix has updated the PC specifications for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, requiring high-end graphics cards with 12-16GB VRAM for optimal 4K performance. The PC version will leverage DLSS upscaling, Shader Model 6.6, and DirectX 12 Ultimate.
Just two weeks before Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC launch, Square Enix released detailed minimum, recommended, and ultra settings specifications. They strongly recommend a high-end graphics card boasting 12GB to 16GB of VRAM for 4K resolution gameplay. This follows the November release of a PS5 Pro enhancement patch and arrives nearly a year after the game's initial PS5 debut. Unlike Final Fantasy VII Remake, Rebirth will not receive any DLC; Square Enix is currently focused on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
While initial PC specs were shared during The Game Awards, Square Enix has since clarified that 12-16GB of VRAM is recommended for 4K users. The game still requires a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 operating system, 155GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM. Recommended processor options include the Ryzen 5 5600 or higher, and graphics cards need to be an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or better (supporting DLSS).
