Last August we revealed that FINAL FANTASY XV was coming to PC in 2018 as “FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION”, and that in addition to supporting NVIDIA Ansel and ShadowPlay Highlights, it was loaded with graphics-enhancing NVIDIA GameWorks effects.

Today, we can reveal that a FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION Benchmark will launch February 1st, followed by the complete game on March 6th. For all the details, as well as the official system requirements and news about the game’s pricing, keep reading.

FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION System Requirements

The PC edition of FINAL FANTASY XV features a huge suite of graphics options that can be configured to increase or decrease fidelity beyond the levels seen on consoles. This enables gamers with older PCs to play the game, and those with newer systems to crank up the settings to enjoy greater levels of detail, improved effects, and our NVIDIA GameWorks enhancements.

To help PC gamers get ready for the release of FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION, Square Enix has drawn up three specifications that ensure a smooth, playable experience throughout the duration of the lengthy game:

FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION System Requirements Minimum Specs Recommended Specs 4K HDR Specs OS Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 64-bit Windows 10 64-bit Fall Creators update CPU Intel Core i5-2500

AMD FX-6100 Intel Core i7-3770

AMD FX-8350 Intel Core i7-7700

AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Graphics Card GeForce GTX 760

GeForce GTX 1050 GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Memory 8GB 16GB 16GB Screen Resolution 1280 x 720 1920 x 1080 3840 x 2160 (4K) Hard Disk / SSD Over 100GB Over 155GB Sound Card DirectSound sound card, Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos DirectX DirectX 11

Per Square Enix, the “Recommended” and “4K HDR” recommendations above will give you at least 30 FPS at all times, with a High level of detail. For a 60 FPS experience, our testing with pre-release builds reveals that a GeForce GTX 1070 is required at 1920x1080, and a GeForce GTX 1080 at 2560x1440. At 4K, some settings will have to be turned down on a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, but with the increased pixel count the experience will still be far beyond anything you’ve previously seen in other releases of FINAL FANTASY XV.

FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION Release Date, Price, and Features

In addition to announcing that FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION will launch on March 6th, Square Enix has revealed that the long-awaited PC release will cost $49.99 in the United States.

For that price you’ll get the base game, all season pass content (EPISODE GLADIOLUS, EPISODE PROMPTO, MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION: COMRADES and EPISODE IGNIS); more than a dozen pieces of downloadable content, including weapons, car skins and item sets; a new PC first-person camera mode; and a bunch of other improvements that add an expanded area with new quests and enemies, a boat for water-based exploration and fishing, a new “Armiger Unleashed” battle mode, and much more.

And don’t forget, the PC edition can be modded, so expect to see new content and features released for years to come from skilled, mod-making players.
