Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 16 will be officially coming to PC on September 17th, and there is a PC demo that you can download right now. Moreover, the publisher shared the game’s official PC system requirements. So, let’s take a look at them.
Let’s start with the basics. Final Fantasy XVI will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech on PC. Moreover, it won’t have any Ray Tracing effects. However, NVIDIA has told us that it will support DLSS 3 (with Frame Generation) at launch.
To run the game, PC gamers will at least need an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i5-8400 with 16GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Intel Arc A580 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070. These PC specs will be enough for 30fps at 1280×720. The game will also require 170GB of free disk space. Yep, you read that right. You’ll need 170GB of free disk space. Not only that but the publisher recommends an SSD.
Square Enix recommends using an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i7-10700 with 16GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080. This will be enough for gaming with 60fps at 1080p.
As said, SE has also released a PC demo which you can download from this link. I’m currently downloading it, so we’ll have a separate article about its performance. Will the NVIDIA RTX 4090 be able to offer a Native 4K experience at 60fps? We’ll soon find out.
Finally, Square Enix shared this PC trailer. So, be sure to check it out.
Enjoy!
