Will your configuration be powerful enough to run Forspoken? Square-Enix’s new baby could bring many PCs to their knees. The technical requirements are very high.
The publisher shared the necessary configurations for the PC version of the game, it will be quite possible to play with an average machine (with a GTX 1080)… however, a definition at 720p and a frame rate of 30 FPS will have to be contented with. You’ll need a minimum of RTX 3070 to get it up to 1440p.
Fospoken, the first game to use Windows 11 Direct Storage
As we can see in the Square-Enix chart, playing 4K won’t be available to everyone as it will have to be equipped with an Intel Core i7-12700K processor or an AMD Ryzen 5 5800X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080. or AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT GPU. To summarize, It will be necessary to have a war machine. We haven’t seen this in a new release in a long time. Abandoned looks good, sure, but that doesn’t justify such demands. The culprit for this mischief is none other than Denuvo’s anti-hacking tool. A real gas plant makes any game greedy. What bothers many users who do not want to switch to the PS5 box.
Last point, we noticed that Forspoken takes up 150GB of space on your HDD or SSD (installation recommended), it’s huge! The only good point: It will be the first title compatible with Windows 11 Direct Storage. This technology consists of disabling the CPU, fetching the information needed by the GPU directly from the SSD. Concretely, this eliminates all load times. It’s something that should become increasingly popular on PC and that we can’t wait to see on Forspoken.
As a reminder, Forspoken is an action/RPG with a release date on PS5 and PC scheduled for January 24.
