Ahead of its release later this month, Square Enix has revealed details on the PC requirements for Forspoken. With plenty of new and impressive technology under its hood, Forspoken is shaping up to be a very demanding game and will require some of the latest technology on the market if you want to run it at its very best.
At the bare minimum, Square Enix says that you’ll be able to use much older CPU and GPUs to run the game, although it’ll be rendering at a targeted 720p and 30fps if you’re still using an AMD Radeon RX 5500 or Nvidia 1060 graphics card. To hit a sweet spot of 1440p at 30fps, you’ll need to have a PC that has parts produced in the current decade, as the recommended settings list newer CPUs and and either an AMD Radeon RX 6700 or Nvidia GTX 3070.
For ultra settings, where the game runs at 4K 60fps, you’ll need to have the very latest gear, with Square Enix recommending 32GB of RAM, CPUs clocked at 3.7GHz or better, and an Nvidia GTX 4080. One thing that all three settings have in common is a massive demand for storage space, as you’ll need to dedicate at least 150GB of your HDD or SSD.
