We got some hot news straight from the Square Enix camp about the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. It’s looking slick, and guess what? We finally have the official PC system requirements, and Denuvo might be out of the picture this time.
Square Enix revealed the PC specs for Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake on its Steam store page, and something caught my eye. Usually, Square Enix games plaster that Denuvo anti-tamper tech all over their store pages. Games like Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven or Visions of Mana had Denuvo front and center from day one. But Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake? Not a peep about Denuvo. So, either they forgot to slap it on, or we’re in for a Denuvo-free experience.
Now, let’s talk about those system requirements. If you’re planning to play this game on PC, here’s what you’ll need:
Minimum Requirements:
- OS: Windows® 10 / Windows® 11 64-bit
- Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 3 1200 or Intel® Core™ i3-6100
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon™ RX 460, Intel® Arc™ A380, or NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 20 GB available space
- Additional Notes: 1280×720, Graphics Preset “Lowest”, 60FPS (16GB RAM required when using Intel Arc GPU)
And if you want the game to look as glorious as possible, here’s what Square Enix recommends:
Recommended Requirements:
- OS: Windows® 10 / Windows® 11 64-bit
- Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 3 1200 or Intel® Core™ i3-6100
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon™ RX 470, Intel® Arc™ A580, or NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 20 GB available space
- Additional Notes: 1920×1080, Graphics Preset “Highest”, 60FPS (16GB RAM required when using Intel Arc GPU)
The game needs 20GB of free disk space. Not too shabby, considering some modern games are getting ridiculously large. Here’s the kicker: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is set to drop on PC on November 14th. Mark your calendars, people. This game is shaping up to be a nostalgic trip with a fresh coat of paint. If you’re a fan of the original or just love a good RPG, this one’s going to be worth your time.
So, why the big deal about Denuvo? Well, if you’ve ever dealt with the performance hits and DRM issues it can cause, you’ll understand the excitement. If this remake truly ships without Denuvo, it might mean smoother gameplay and less hassle for us gamers.
