Reported download sizes by platform
TwistedVoxel reports the following figures, including a specific PlayStation build number:
| Platform | Reported size | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | 11.881 GB | TwistedVoxel reports version 01.000.001 |
| Xbox Series X|S | Approximately 14 GB | Approximate figure reported by TwistedVoxel |
| Nintendo Switch | 8.8 GB | Estimate reported by TwistedVoxel |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | 12.7 GB | Estimate reported by TwistedVoxel |
| Windows PC, via Steam | 15 GB available space | Official system requirement, not a stated download size |
The console figures come from TwistedVoxel; Steam independently supports only the PC available-space requirement. Neither Steam’s listing nor Square Enix’s announcement corroborates those exact console sizes. Treat them as advance planning figures rather than independently confirmed installation requirements.
The numbers also do not establish why the platform footprints differ. A smaller package is not, by itself, evidence of missing content or lower-quality assets. The figures provide a storage comparison, not a technical explanation.
Windows 11 PC requirements
Square Enix’s Steam listing specifies these configurations and performance targets:
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 11, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| Processor | Ryzen 3 2300X / Core i3-8100 | Ryzen 5 2500X / Core i3-8100 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Radeon RX 6400 / Arc A580 / GeForce GTX 1650 | Radeon RX 5500 XT / Arc A580 / GeForce GTX 1650 |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 15 GB available | 15 GB available |
| Stated target | 1080p, 30 FPS, Low preset | 1080p, 60 FPS, Highest preset |
Notably, the Intel processor, Intel GPU and NVIDIA GPU options remain unchanged between tiers; the AMD options differ. These are publisher-listed targets, not independent benchmarks. Windows 10 is not listed, which does not establish whether it can run the game unofficially.
Practical takeaway: use 15 GB as the stated PC free-space requirement. Do not use it as a precise bandwidth estimate or assume it confirms the final installed footprint. Steam does not label it either way.
Release and preload timing need platform context
TwistedVoxel reports an October 20, 2026 preload, an October 22 release, a midnight launch time and a $49.99 Standard Edition price. Its timing details should not be generalized into a confirmed preload schedule for every platform or region.
Square Enix’s Japanese announcement names Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Microsoft Store on Windows. It gives October 22, 2026 as the general release date but separately specifies October 23, 2026 for Steam. The inspected Steam storefront displays October 22. Those listings therefore differ in their calendar-date presentation; neither establishes a universal midnight unlock for all readers.
Square Enix also confirms that the HD-2D RPG rebuilds material from the first season of FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS, rather than simply transferring the mobile game unchanged. That provides background, but it does not explain the reported package sizes.
For Windows and Xbox readers, the bottom line is straightforward: the reported Xbox footprint is approximately 14 GB, while Steam officially asks PC players for 15 GB of free space. They are different kinds of measurements—and should remain separate until platform-specific download information confirms otherwise.
