While Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is making all the headlines at the moment, which would make it easy to forget that Final Fantasy 16 launched just under a year ago. Like Rebirth, Final Fantasy 16 launched as a PS5 exclusive, but a PC version has already been confirmed and now, Square Enix has given us a much needed update.

Final Fantasy 16 first launched in June and many fans had hoped that the PC version would be out before the end of 2023. Developers were quick to shoot this idea down, stating that it would take longer than six months to get a PC version of the game ready. Now, we finally have an update on the PC version, with producer, Naoki Yoshida, confirming to GameInformer that the game is in ‘the final stages'.

“In terms of where we are in development currently, we're trying to figure out the final stages of optimization right now”, Yoshida said. “When we can release the PC version might be dependent on that – the system requirements and specifications for PC that players will need, so we're trying to figure that out.”

Yoshida also warned that the PC specifications for the game are “looking to be somewhat high”. If you played Final Fantasy XV on PC, that may not be much of a shock. Additionally, Final Fantasy 16's 60FPS performance mode on PS5 had plenty of pitfalls, with massive resolution drops to achieve the higher frame rate in battles. Still, we can hope that the game's graphical settings will be scalable enough to support less powerful hardware, like the Steam Deck.

KitGuru Says: There is no word on a release date yet, but at this rate, I would assume that the PC version of Final Fantasy 16 will be dropping this summer, rather than later in the year. After that, we can turn our attention to the incoming PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which will no doubt fall somewhere into the 2025 calendar.

AMD has outlined its own PC requirements for Starfield targeting 1080p, 1440p and 4K https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/amd-has-outlined-its-own-pc-requirements-for-starfield-targeting-1080p-1440p-and-4k/ https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/amd-has-outlined-its-own-pc-requirements-for-starfield-targeting-1080p-1440p-and-4k/#respond Wed, 12 Jul 2023 14:15:46 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=622964 AMD has been putting Starfield in headlines in recent weeks, after being announced as the game's ‘official PC partner' and unveiling a new game bundle, giving free copies of Bethesda's new RPG to those buying Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards.

AMD has been putting Starfield in headlines in recent weeks, after being announced as the game's ‘official PC partner' and unveiling a new game bundle, giving free copies of Bethesda's new RPG to those buying Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards. Now, AMD's recommended PC system requirements for the game have arrived. 

In an update to AMD's Starfield page, the hardware maker has shared its PC spec requirements for playing Starfield at 1080p, 1440p and 4K. As you might expect, these are AMD's recommendations, so the focus is purely on AMD hardware here. According to AMD, to run Starfield at 1080p, players will want to be equipped with a Ryzen 5 7600 processor and a Radeon RX 7600 graphics card (or better). For 1440p, AMD recommends a Ryzen 7 7700X and an RX 6800 at least. Finally for 4K gaming, AMD recommends a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and an RX 7900 graphics card.

These are a little different to the minimum and recommended system requirements that Bethesda has added to Starfield's Steam page. Here are Bethesda's PC system requirements, including Intel and Nvidia hardware options:

Minimum:

  • OS: Windows 10 version 22H2 (10.0.19045)
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 125 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD Required

Recommended:

  • OS: Windows 10/11 with updates
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, Intel i5-10600K
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 125 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD Required

Typically, PC system requirements for AAA games aren't finalised until a few weeks before launch. With Starfield set to release on September 6th, we may expect some more detailed, hardware vendor-agnostic, PC system requirements from Bethesda closer to that date. Bethesda's current PC system requirements don't make any mention of target resolution or frame rate.

While Ghostwire: Tokyo is a PS5 exclusive for consoles, the game is also coming to PC on day-one. Last month, Bethesda released the preliminary PC system requirements, but now just a couple of days ahead of release, the PC system requirements have been updated, this time including system requirements for ray-tracing. 

Ghostwire: Tokyo will support ray-traced reflections, shadows and global illumination. Having all of these effects switched on can result in a pretty big performance dip, so naturally, the system requirements for using RT effects are much higher than the standard minimum and recommended specs.

The full PC system requirements for Ghostwire: Tokyo can be found below:

Minimum (720p, low)

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or higher
  • Processor: Core I7 4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
  • Memory: 12GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 5500 XT (VRAM 6 GB or higher)
  • Storage: 20GB available space

Recommended (1080p, high)

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or higher
  • Processor: Core I7 6700 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
  • Memory: 16GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1080 or AMD RX 5600 XT (VRAM 6 GB or higher)
  • Storage: 20GB available space

Highest (4K, max settings, no ray-tracing)

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or higher
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
  • Memory: 16GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia RTX 2080S or AMD RX 6800 XT
  • Storage 20GB available space (SSD)

For ray-tracing, the system requirements jump up a bit. Disappointingly, each spec listed targets 30FPS, so getting up to 60FPS or beyond may be quite challenging. For RT minimum settings (1080p), you are going to want an Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 16GB of RAM and an RTX 2060 or RX 6700 XT graphics card. The RT Recommended spec targets 1440p/30FPS and calls for a Core i7-8700 or Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, 16GB of RAM and an RTX 3070 or RX 6800 graphics card. Finally, for the highest RT settings at 4K/30FPS, you'll need at least an RTX 3080 or RX 6900 XT graphics card.

Ghostwire: Tokyo will release on PC and PS5 on the 25th of March. In March 2023, the game’s time exclusivity will run out, at which point, it should also come to Xbox consoles, as well as Xbox Game Pass for PC and console.

KitGuru Says: Ghostwire: Tokyo looked great during the recent gameplay showcase. Are any of you thinking about picking this up next month?
