Some demos are just a taste, and some already ask for full-game space: the Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition one was a heavy download on Steam. For those with slow internet, it was quite a download, but it was worth it for getting to know the first missions at leisure and, above all, testing whether your PC could handle the game before buying.
The demo was available on Steam, Origin and the Microsoft Store and covered the first chapter of Noctis and his friends’ adventure. Progress did not carry over automatically to the full game, but players found you could copy the save file manually to the final game’s folder and continue where they left off.
The official requirements published on the Steam page were these:
Minimum (720p at 30 frames per second)
System: Windows 7 SP1, 8.1 or 10, 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 3.3 GHz or AMD FX-6100 3.3 GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 760 or GTX 1050, or Radeon R9 280
Memory: 8 GB RAM
DirectX: 11
Storage: 100 GB
Recommended (1080p at 30 frames per second)
System: Windows 7 SP1, 8.1 or 10, 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or Radeon RX 480
Memory: 16 GB RAM
DirectX: 11
Storage: 100 GB
What stands out about the PC version is the package: it already came with all the Season Pass content, the Gladiolus, Prompto and Ignis episodes and the Comrades multiplayer expansion, plus first-person mode, native 4K and HDR10 support, an expanded Insomnia map and a mod tool. A fun detail: anyone who bought before May 1 got a Half-Life-themed pack.
