Square Enix has revealed the official PC system requirements for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake via its Steam store page. And, from the looks of it, this upcoming remake may not be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Now the reason I’m saying this is because all the latest Steam store pages for Square Enix include Denuvo from the get-go. Take for instance Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven or Visions of Mana.
So, either Square Enix forgot to include Denuvo in the Steam store page of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, or the remake will not be using it at all.
As said, the publisher has also shared its official PC system requirements. According to them, PC gamers will at least need an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or an Intel Core i3-6100 with 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 460 or an Intel Arc A380 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750. The game will also require 20GB of free disk space.
SE recommends an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or an Intel Core i3-6100 with 8GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 470 or an Intel Arc A580 or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake will be coming to PC on November 14th.
Stay tuned for more!

lol the requirements for this crap looking game are exaggerated, i bet 60fps will be achievable even with gt730
Game uses DX12, which is poorly supported with newer drivers on such old generation GPUs.
If true, then Intel's first-gen Intel dGPUs must be so broken at the hardware level that their driver developers are unable to fix it via software.
Let's see how Battlemage is going to turn out, although I do have slight hope because Intel's Linux driver developers wrote a new kernel driver for that generation named Xe2, which is a good indication of fundamental changes at the hardware level of the GPU, hopefully for the better.
Who cares if it uses Denuvo or not. It's on Steam, and 99% of games on Steam use Steam's invasive DRM, which is worse than Denuvo. At least developers eventually remove Denuvo, Steam's DRM is forever.
If it comes DRM-free to GOG or Epic I might consider it.
Unlike Denuvo games, this will be a cracked Day-0 release, precisely because it uses Steam's so-called joke "DRM". 😉
lol steam's DRM is kind of a joke. After denovu is being removed it doesn't matters whether u buy it or GOG or steam, GOG is more likely to go down before steam does. With the introduction of a new app on github called Steam-superheater, u can fix all old games or retro games on steam with just one click, it automatically downloads and install all relevant widescreen and other fixes for the game.
You've never used GOG. You should use it to understand how it works. If GOG goes down, everyone still has their games. If the internet goes down, GOG games still work. You own the games you buy through GOG, that's the whole point of GOG.
You literally get the install files from GOG. You can burn the games to an M-disc and they will last thousands of years.
Steam on the other hand, requires the online Steam launcher. Steam requires an active account. Steam has banned players who lost access to all their games. Steam doesn't even support Windows 7 anymore, everyone with Windows 7 lost access to their games until they upgrade to Windows 10.
When you pay Steam, you are renting games, that's literally what Steam's EULA says, you buy access to a game. GOG sells you the actual game.
huh making assumptions about me already lol ? Take a look at my GOG account. Not as big as my steam Library bu i still use GOG. I am sure i will be dead before steam goes bankrupt or anything, if steam goes down piracy is there to mitigate the issue.
What is the difference between you making GOG back up and some other guy making pirated back up ? People will distribute offline installer of GOG so those who don't have bought the game can also use GOG's copy anyways. Not to mention backing up GOG games is a huge PITA except old games, why backing up GOG games is PITA u ask well becoz many games on GOG actually take more space than the steam versions. E.g. Tomb raider 2013, steam version around 9 gb, GOG version up to 19gb. Dragon age origins steam version 23 gb, GOG version whopping 40+gb. Another issue with GOG is the regional pricing, sometimes games cost me literally 50% more on GOG as compared to on steam. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ac634b18a8f1b1783bb295097111522ab293e871e71c669c83e6a14952bc08ce.png
The average game on GOG is like $1-$15.
How poor do you have to be to go to a pirate site instead, just to spend hours downloading some torrent with Russian malware. And having to redownload it every time there's a patch. Pirates are scrubs.
If someone can't afford $10 for a game, they need to stop gaming and get a job before they end up in a ditch as a homeless person.
You are the biggest idiot honestly, Baldur's gate 3 costs $59.99 currently on GOG full price no sale & on steam same BG3 on full price no sale costs me $29.99. I have to the biggest idiot if i bought BG3 on GOG paying 50% more. Same is the case with many other AAA games. The older games on my GOG account are still higher priced compared to steam but still i bought them on GOG. Before calling me poor remember i live in third world country & i paid more $$$ for the same hardware u idiots buy in ur country. You GOG fanboys will keep on crying, but steam will always be the first choice for majority. AAA games on GOG costs more, take more size on storage as well lol.
The only way to circumvent Steam's DRM is with "GoldbergEmu", which is Russian malware, good luck with that.
No one has actually "cracked" Steam's DRM. Steam's DRM is actually a very strong version of DRM because it requires an online handshake with Valve's servers.
Epic has worst DRM though.
The Epic Store has no DRM, they never developed one. This was revealed during the Epic court trial against Apple. All Epic Games are DRM free, except of course those using 3rd party DRM like Denuvo.
Random example, Ghost of Tsushima uses Steam DRM and will not launch without the Steam launcher. But Ghost of Tsushima is completely DRM free on Epic. (PCgamingwiki for more info)
You can launch most games after completely uninstalling the Epic Launcher. The exception are those that use 3rd party DRM like Denuvo. A few games also require launcher functionality for save files since they use cloud saves, but that's the rare exception, not the rule.
Amazon Games also has no DRM, neither does Itch*io.
Only Valve has active store DRM. When you upload your game to Steam, the Steam DRM checkbox is turned on by default, so almost every game on Steam that came out in the last couple of years has Steam DRM, unless the developer specifically turned off Steam DRM.
PCGamingWiki has all the info for every game. They also have lists for each store. About 98% of Steam games use Steam DRM.
High likely it will inject Denuvo at the last minute it happened before and it will happen again
they do this to farm early preorders
just pirate the switch version.
