2024 was a stellar year for JRPG fans, and the DS staff gathered to decide which title reigned supreme among all the impeccable releases.
Square Enixhas revealed that thesystem requirementsrequire 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 forSteam Deck, but Square Enix is “working hard to optimize it for Steam Deck.”
