The minimum Final Fantasy 16 PC system requirements you need

In order to play this epic adventure with Clive and crew, you’ll need some beefy PC system requirements just to run the game at 720p with 30 frames per second. The Steam page lists the following:

  • OS:Ā Windows 10 / 11 64-bit
  • Processor:Ā AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / Intel Coreā„¢ i5-8400
  • Memory:Ā 16 GB RAM

Final Fantasy 16 is a huge game, so it will require 170GB of available space on an SSD, no less. That is far bigger than another Square Enix game Kingdom Hearts 3, which only requires 75GB. Another action RPG from this generation Wild Hearts also only needed 80GB.

To play Final Fantasy 16 with 60 frames per second at a 1080p resolution, you’ll need the following specs in your PC:

  • OS: WindowsĀ® 10 / 11 64-bit
  • Processor: AMD Ryzenā„¢ 7 5700X / IntelĀ® Coreā„¢ i7-10700
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeonā„¢ RX 6700 XT / NVIDIAĀ® GeForceĀ® RTX 2080
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage:Ā 170 GB available space

If you need to test your rig and see if the game will work on your PC, there’s thankfully a free demo available on Steam. It contains the first few hours of the experience, and you can carry on your save progress into the full game. Neat! Hopefully, your PC won’t need a Phoenix Down after running (or attempting to run) Final Fantasy 16.
