For gaming at 1440p/30fps, you’ll need AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-8700K and an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. You’ll also need 24GB of RAM.
As for 2160p/60fps, Square Enix has listed some extremely high requirements. PC gamers will need an NVMe SSD, 32GB of RAM, a high-end CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080.
Forspoken will release on January 24th, and will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. From what we know so far, it will also be the first game to take advantage of DirectStorage on PC.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
