Forspoken PC requirements could trip up some budget builds, so be sure to check where your rig lands among the Square Enix RPG game specs.

What are the Forspoken system requirements? The Square Enix Forspoken unless they fancy upgrading their machines.

Here are the Forspoken system requirements:

You won't need the best gaming PC to meet the Forspoken minimum specs. As a baseline, the developer says you'll need a GPU that's on par with the GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT, paired with either an Intel Core i7 3770 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 U. Sounds reasonable, right? Well, sort of, but 16GB RAM serves as a mismatched cheery on top, as budget builds and aging machines normally pack less memory.

If you'd rather avoid turning Square Enix's shiny new adventure into a 2007 demake, aiming for Forspoken recommended specs is a must, but you'll apparently still have to make do with sluggish frame rates. Luminous advises using an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, Intel Core i7-7800K U, and 24GB RAM to achieve 1440p 30fps.

As for Forspoken size requirements, you'll have to free up a whopping 150GB of space, and you might even have to ditch your trusty old mechanical hard disc. The game's recommended requirements suggest you'll need to make the switch to solid-state, with the developer even calling an NVMe drive at higher settings. Picking up the best SSD for gaming will save you from worrying about any of the above, but it could cause a few headaches for anyone using a cheap and cheerful rig.

PC specs should help prevent performance disruption, but we'll need to test it ourselves to figure out the boost fps without compromising the experience, so check back once Square Enix's latest adventure lands.
