Can I Run Final Fantasy VII Remake?
Released in 2022, Final Fantasy VII Remake is an action adventure game built by Square Enix. The game supports a single player campaign. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. Its Steam review count passes 41 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Completionists have 63 achievements to work through. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones.

Why Final Fantasy VII Remake is demanding
Demand in Final Fantasy VII Remake is ordinary. The publisher has AMD Radeon RX 5700 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 / in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Installation is large at roughly 100 GB. At 12 GB, system memory is undemanding. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Final Fantasy VII Remake scales hard with the hardware you give it. It wants 8 GB of video memory, which rules out the 6 GB cards that are otherwise quick enough. Final Fantasy VII Remake needs 64 bit Windows. DirectX 12 is named, so Final Fantasy VII Remake expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Final Fantasy VII Remake?
Free up space before installing Final Fantasy VII Remake: it needs roughly 100 GB. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, AMD Radeon™ RX 480 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 780 / 3GB VRAM required and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Final Fantasy VII Remake needs about 100 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
