Square Enix has revealed the PC system requirements for Forspoken and it has baffled players. Apart from a steep requirement of some of the latest technology on the market if you want to run the game at its best, you’ll also need a hefty 150GB of storage space. Here’s everything that’s required of you across the minimum, recommended and Ultra specs for Forspoken on PC.
First and foremost, you’ll be squeezing out 720p 30fps on minimum specs with an AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 at the very least. In terms of a current-gen only title this makes sense for these demanding requests, but once we get to the recommended specs, things get a bit crazy. You’ll be hitting 1440p 30fps under recommended with a requirement of a AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GTX 3070 and 24GB of RAM. Ultra targeting 4k 60fps requires players to have some high-end equipment, including a GTX 4080 or RX 6800 XT.

It’s a bit baffling when you consider that the visuals were possibly downgraded during development, showing a stark contrast between the demo gameplay and gameplay previously shown in trailers. All that said, it seems like PC players who have the best gear will benefit the most from seeing Forspoken in its smoothest and best form on the platform, but even on the lower spectrum, it seems quite demanding.
Forspoken launches on 24 January 2023 for PS5 and PC.
