It took nearly four years for a proper fix for the port to finally be released in 2021, and this isn’t the only instance of that happening. In 2017 Square Enix released NieR: Automata on PC, an abysmal port that was wracked by crashes, resolution issues, major performance issues, and more. While we don’t quite know how well Forspoken will run on PC, even with the proper rig, Square’s history of PC ports doesn’t inspire confidence. What’s baffling here is that Square didn’t provide recommendations to run the game at 1080p, which is what the large majority of players will be looking to do. To run the game at 1440p and 30FPS, Square Enix recommends 24 GB of memory, and for 2160p and 60FPS it recommends a staggering 32 GB. The problem with Forspoken is that those requirements only surge even higher if you want to run the game on anything but the most basic of settings. On top of all this, Forspoken will take up an absurd 150GB of space on your hard drive, which comes in a whole 30GB above even Red Dead Redemption 2.įorspoken’s file size is a whopping 150 GB on PC, while the PS5 version clocks in at nearly half that with roughly 83 GB. Even by comparison to last year one of 2022’s biggest games, Elden Ring, only requires 12 GB of memory with a recommended amount of 16GB.
Even just two years ago 16GB would have been a generous amount, if not maybe a little more than you’d typically need. Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT/Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6 GBĪcross the board, those are some high requirements, but the real surprise is the required 16GB of memory, in order to run the game at only 720p and 30FPS.For reference, here are the game’s minimum requirements For years Square Enix has had trouble porting even their most beloved titles to PC, but Forspoken’s absurd requirements are also indicative of surging requirements across the industry, making it hard for many PC players to keep up.įorspoken’s PC requirements were released just one week before the game’s launch, and boy are they eye-watering. At the same time, it looks like Forspoken is about to continue another unfortunate trend with Square Enix at large, that of poorly optimized PC ports. Forspoken has had a rough go of things since it was first revealed, between marketing that instantly became a meme and an overall mixed reaction to the recent demo.
