Introduction

The PC Settings section helps you get FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION running smoothly on your system, from checking the official requirements to tuning graphics, ultrawide support, controller options and common performance problems. Because Square Enix had not published the official system requirements at the time this wiki was created, the guides here combine what is confirmed from the Steam page — Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Cloud saves, HDR and full controller support — with community discussion about PC port quality and feature requests such as ultrawide displays and DLSS. Once the game launches, this section will be updated with verified benchmarks and settings guides based on real hardware testing.

PC Setup Topics

A

System Requirements

The hardware bar — official specs still TBD.

StatusTBD on the Steam page; estimates based on the previous FFVII chapters are published with clear qualifiers until official specs drop.
EstimateModern GPU with 8GB+ VRAM, 16GB RAM and an SSD for 1080p high settings; high-refresh targets need a stronger card.
Check BeforeBuying on mid-range hardware — wait for verified benchmarks after launch.
Pro TipsThe official specs will update this card; bookmark the page and revisit before purchasing.
A

Graphics Settings

Balancing visual quality and frame rate.

What MattersResolution scaling, shadows, reflections and texture quality dominate performance; ray tracing and HDR add cost on top.
Best SettingsPublished after launch based on verified benchmarks across GPU tiers, with presets for 60 FPS and high-refresh monitors.
DLSS / FSRSupport was not confirmed pre-launch; guides will cover both upscalers once the game is testable.
Pro TipsStart with quality presets and adjust only the two or three heaviest settings to hit your target FPS.
B

Ultrawide & Display

Ultrawide support and display options for wide monitors.

StatusUltrawide support not confirmed; community requests include up to 7680x2160 and 32:9.
Best For21:9 and 32:9 monitors where the planetary scale of exploration looks dramatically better.
WorkaroundsCommunity ultrawide fixes usually appear quickly if the game does not support it at launch.
Pro TipsTest with HDR on and off — some displays look better with the games HDR implementation toggled.
B

Controller & Input

Full controller support and input customization.

StatusFull controller support confirmed on the Steam page; mouse and keyboard also supported.
DualSensePS5 controller features on PC not confirmed pre-launch; previous ports implemented partial support.
RemappingKeyboard remap and control scheme options expected; exact menus confirmed in the release build.
Pro TipsBind shortcut menus to easily reachable keys so you can open commands without stopping combat flow.
C

Performance & Fixes

Launch issues, stuttering and crash fixes.

Common IssuesStuttering, crashes, controller detection and Denuvo-related performance questions are typical for major PC launches.
FixesDay-one patches, driver updates and community workarounds; documented as they are confirmed post-launch.
Check FirstVerify your GPU drivers and enable Cloud saves before troubleshooting deeper issues.
Pro TipsJoin the Steam community discussions for real-time reports of launch-day bugs and their fixes.
C

HDR & Ray Tracing

Premium visuals for capable hardware.

What MattersHDR is confirmed on the Steam page and ray tracing options are expected; both add GPU cost but improve the cinematic presentation.
Best SettingsPublished after launch with per-tier recommendations for HDR and ray tracing quality levels.
RequiresA GPU with strong raster and RT performance; mid-range cards should prioritize frame rate over RT.
Pro TipsTest ray tracing on a boss fight first — if it drops below your target, disable RT and keep HDR.
B

Audio & Accessibility

Sound options and quality-of-life settings.

What MattersVolume controls for music, SFX and voice are expected, with the series usually offering separate sliders.
Best SettingsRecommended audio mix published after launch; accessibility options like subtitle size and colorblind modes confirmed in release.
RequiresNo special hardware — a basic headset is enough to appreciate the orchestral score.
Pro TipsLower SFX relative to music to hear boss tells clearly during combat.

Core Mechanics

Getting the best PC experience in REVELATION comes down to three things: meeting the hardware bar, choosing the right graphics settings and fixing common launch issues. The Steam page confirms several PC features out of the box — Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Cloud saves, HDR and full controller support — but the official minimum and recommended requirements were still TBD when this wiki was created. Community discussion focuses on ultrawide support (players requesting up to 32:9), DLSS and FSR implementation, Denuvo DRM concerns and the performance legacy of the previous FFVII PC ports, which had mixed reputations. The settings guides here will be built from verified benchmarks once the game is playable.

Advantages

The PC version offers genuine advantages over console: ultrawide displays, higher frame rates, mouse-and-keyboard or controller input and the flexibility to tune graphics to your hardware. The Steam page confirms the feature set includes Achievements, Trading Cards, Cloud saves, HDR and full controller support, so PC players get the full platform experience. For players with capable hardware, the settings guides will target 120+ FPS and high refresh rates, and the section tracks community feedback on Denuvo and performance so you can decide whether to wait for optimization patches or day-one purchase.

Challenges

The main weakness is uncertainty: official system requirements were not published before launch, so players cannot confidently plan hardware purchases, and the previous FFVII PC ports had mixed performance reputations, which makes some players hesitant to buy day one. Ultrawide support was only a community request, not a confirmed feature, and Denuvo DRM was a recurring concern in discussions about performance impact. Finally, launch-day issues like stuttering, crashes or controller bugs are possible for any major PC release, and the guides here can only document known issues as they are reported.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the system requirements for FF7 Revelation?+
The official minimum and recommended system requirements were still marked TBD on the Steam page when this wiki was created. Based on the hardware bar of the previous FFVII remake chapters, expect a modern GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM for 1080p high settings, 16GB of RAM and an SSD for fast loading, but these are estimates until Square Enix publishes the official specs. We will update this section with the verified requirements the moment they are announced, along with community-tested hardware tiers for 60 FPS and high-refresh play.
Does the game support ultrawide monitors?+
Ultrawide support was not confirmed on the Steam page, but it was one of the most requested features in community discussions, with players asking for up to 7680x2160 and 32:9 aspect ratios. The previous FFVII PC ports added ultrawide support through patches, so there is a reasonable chance REVELATION ships with it or receives it post-launch. If the game does not support ultrawide at launch, the community often creates fixes quickly. We will confirm the day-one state and any workarounds in the ultrawide guide after release.
What controller options are available?+
The Steam page lists full controller support, so you can play with virtually any pad on Windows. Players who enjoyed the series DualSense features will want to check whether the PS5 controller-specific functions are supported on PC, which the previous ports implemented partially. Mouse-and-keyboard is also fully supported, and the settings guide will include recommended button mappings for both input styles once the control scheme is confirmed in the released build.

Quick Tips

💡

Wait for verified benchmarks before buying on an older GPU. The previous FFVII PC ports had mixed performance, and the official requirements were TBD at the time of writing, so waiting a day or two for community testing data is the safest move for players on mid-range hardware.

💡

Enable Cloud saves before your first session. The Steam page confirms Cloud saves are supported, which protects your progress across reinstalls and PC upgrades — an easy safeguard for a long JRPG.

💡

Check for day-one patches before troubleshooting performance. Square Enix has historically shipped optimization patches for the FFVII PC ports, so stuttering or crashes on launch day may already have fixes in the pipeline before you change settings.
