Can I Run Final Fantasy XIII?
Released in 2014, Final Fantasy XIII is a role playing game built by Square Enix. The game supports a single player campaign. 5 languages are covered by the store listing. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. There are 35 achievements to chase. It is old enough that no current GPU generation existed when it shipped, so modern hardware tends to be far past what it can use. Cloud saves are enabled. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Steam review count passes 16 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.
