At last night’s The Game Awards, we finally got news about a PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Originally released on PlayStation 5, the second entry in a planned remake/remaster trilogy of Final Fantasy 7 arrives on PC on January 23rd, sooner than we expected! However, you had better make sure your PC is ready because its requirements are doozy.

Square Enix has revealed that the system requirements require 155 GB of SSD storage. You’ll also need an NVIDIA GeForce RRX 2060, AMD Radeon RX 6600, or Intel Arc 1580 video card, at minimum. The developer recommends at least an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070.

While its file size is on par with the industry today, that’s still a non-trivial amount of SSD storage, and not everyone has the luxury of keeping these games installed at a whim.

We’ve included the full list of PC specs below, covering the game’s minimum, recommended, and ultra requirements. If you want the game to look its best, we hope you have a 4080!

Currently, the game has not been verified for Steam Deck, but Square Enix is “working hard to optimize it for Steam Deck.”

What to Expect in the PC Version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

It’s time for the million-dollar question: what does investing in a top-of-the-line PC get you with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Square promises capable PCs can run at a frame rate of up to 120 FPS. You’ll also have a “range of visual enhancements, including refined lighting, improved environment detail, and more detailed textures.” While they reference NVIDIA DLSS support, it doesn’t sound like it’s a sure thing that it will be available at launch.

Seven seconds till the end.

PC players can connect a DualSense controller and maintain the same control system as the PS5 version of the game. Mouse and keyboard support have also been added, and players can customize their controls.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is coming to PC on January 23rd, 2025. It is available to pre-purchase now on Steam and Epic Games Store.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continues to storyline that left off in Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 2020. Rather than being a ‘normal’ remake, FF7 Remake and Rebirth create a sort of sequel, alternate timeline of events, so you can expect Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and the gang’s adventure to continue diverging from the original 1997 game in their quest to save the world and change their fates.
