Final Fantasy XIV updates its requirements for Endwalker

As the release of the upcoming expansion for Final Fantasy XIV draws nearer, Square Enix's massively multiplayer online role-playing game is gaining relevance and an increasing number of players are showing interest in the game too. In fact, the game is currently the most played MMORPG worldwide, with nearly 2.5 million players active on a daily basis. The disappointment of many players regarding the current state of World of Warcraft obviously has something to do with that too, but Final Fantasy XIV offers quite a solid experience and it has reached the top by its own merits.

The release of the Endwalker expansion will undoubtedly draw the attention of even more players and Square Enix wants them to be ready for the graphic update that's coming with the expansion. Final Fantasy XIV is eight years old already, and the system requirements to play the game on PC have been updated several times. The last time it happened was for the release of the Shadowbringers expansion and you can check the system specifications that your computer will need to match if you want to play the game in the best conditions once the new expansion arrives.

It's also possible to test the performance of your PC when running Endwalker ahead of the release of the expansion, as there is a benchmark tool that you can download. The test includes certain cutscenes and also access to the character creator in the game, and lets you compare between different graphics presets, including High and Standard for Desktop and Laptop, and also Maximum settings. At the end of the test, you will get a score and a detailed report of your computer's performance too.

With two new jobs for the players and a new territory to explore, Endwalker is coming on November 23.
