Can I Run Final Fantasy XV?
Square Enix released Final Fantasy XV in 2018. It is a role playing game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. At 8 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. There are 97 achievements to chase. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. With more than 44 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a fantasy world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. There are 23 official screenshots to judge the look from. The view is from a third person view. That openness is what costs performance. Final Fantasy XV has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves.
Why Final Fantasy XV is demanding
The graphics requirement for Final Fantasy XV is light. Hardware around NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is enough, so Final Fantasy XV runs on machines never bought for gaming. Budget around 100 GB of storage for Final Fantasy XV. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Final Fantasy XV at the floor and Final Fantasy XV at the recommended tier are not the same experience. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 6 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Final Fantasy XV?
Free up space before installing Final Fantasy XV: it needs roughly 100 GB. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 760 / NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 / AMD Radeon™ R9 280 and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Final Fantasy XV needs about 100 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.93x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.09x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.48x |
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.

Each card is compared against Final Fantasy XV's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
