Square Enix and Luminous Productions have finally shared the PC requirements of Forspoken, which is set to be released on January 24, 2023, for PC and PS5.

The action role-playing game focuses on speed and fluidity, offering a visually impressive open-world experience.

It’s no wonder, then, that the game’s minimum PC requirements look quite beefy, raising many eyebrows among the PC gaming community.

Forspoken PC ultra requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit (After November 2019 Update) or Windows 11 64-bit
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5800X (3.8 GHz or better) / Intel Core i7-12700 (3.8 GHz or better)

Forspoken will be able to use the DirectStorage feature of the most modern SSDs, which allows your SSD to directly communicate with the GPU to cut down the time it takes to load assets. The game is currently not officially verified for the Steam Deck, though based on Final Fantasy XV, which is built on the same engine, it should run on the device without huge problems.
