It's understandable to split the series up if players only want a portion of the story or want to purchase the titles as they have time to play through them. The Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package goes on sale frequently, even regularly selling for as low as $29.99 from many retailers. This comes as a shock considering last February, Square Enix released Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package for $49.99 on PS4, with the only missing entries being the Re Mind DLC for KH3 and the then-unreleased Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 Remix will retail for $49.99, and all other titles will be $59.99. This is a pretty solid PC product, so kudos to its development team.The Epic Games Store will house Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMix, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD Final Chapter Prologue, Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind and Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory. Not only that, but KH3 does not require a high-end PC system in order to run with more than 60fps. The game supports keyboard and mouse controls, displays proper on-screen prompts, and we did not experience any crash or stability issues. Of course the game could look even better than that (given the raw power of modern-day PC systems) but hey, at least we got KH3 after all those years, right?Īll in all, Kingdom Hearts 3 looks and plays great on PC. Fans of this series will be delighted with this port as there is nothing to complain about. The game features higher quality textures and better LODs than the console versions, and runs at higher than 60fps. Graphics-wise, Kingdom Hearts 3 looks great on the PC. In this game, the RTX3080 appears to be 28% faster than the RTX2080Ti. As for 4K/Max Settings, the only GPUs that were able to provide a constant 60fps experience were the RTX2080Ti and the RTX3080. As such, the GTX980Ti is a bit faster than the AMD RX Vega 64 in this game.Īt 1440p/Max Settings, our top four GPUs were able to provide a smooth gaming experience. Also, and since this is an Unreal Engine 4 game that uses DX11, Kingdom Hearts 3 favours NVIDIA’s hardware. At 1080p/Max Settings, most of our GPUs were able to provide a 60fps experience. Kingdom Hearts 3 also runs smoothly a wide range of graphics cards. Thus, we suggest disabling Hyper-Threading for this particular title. As such, we saw a small performance hit when we enabled Hyper-Threading on all other PC configurations. Moreover, there weren’t any stuttering issues with Hyper-Threading enabled.Īs we can see, Kingdom Hearts 3 uses mainly one CPU core/thread.
When we enabled Hyper-Threading, we saw a noticeable increase at both minimum and average framerates. Still, the fact that a modern-day dual-core CPU can run this game with more than 100fps is great news.
Now we did notice numerous stutters while exploring the environments. From what we could see (after playing for over an hour), this scene was among the most demanding ones (for both CPU and GPU).Įven without Hyper-Threading, our simulated dual-core was able to run the game with more than 100fps at 1080p/Max Settings. Now since the game does not come with any built-in benchmark tool, we’ve benchmarked this “Thebes” scene. And we are happy to report that Kingdom Hearts 3 does not require a high-end CPU.
In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core, a quad-core and a hexa-core CPU. Additionally, the game sports Resolution Scale and Framerate settings. There are also options for Motion Blur and Lens Flares. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Textures, Shadows, Character LOD, Foliage LOD, Ambient Occlusion, Capsule Shadows, Anti-aliasing, Screen Space Reflections, Volumetric Clouds, Volumetric Fog, and Bloom. Square Enix has added a respectable amount of settings to tweak. Since the game does not have any SLI profile, our GTX690 behaved similarly to a single GTX680.
#KINGDOM HEARTS 3 PC RIP DRIVER#
We also used Windows 10 64-bit, the GeForce driver 461.92 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.3.1 drivers. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, it’s time to benchmark this game and see how it performs on the PC platform.įor this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX580 and RX Vega 64, NVIDIA’s GTX690, GTX980Ti, RTX 2080Ti and RTX 3080. Square Enix has finally released Kingdom Hearts 3 on the PC.
