The FFXV Official Benchmark launcher will boot up when you click on "FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION Official Benchmark" from either the Windows start menu or a desktop shortcut. After adjusting the various settings, push the start button to initiate the Benchmark compatibility test.

The score increases based on the fps value. It will count up at a speed based on the PC's capabilities. The time that the Benchmark compatibility test takes is roughly 6 minutes and 30 seconds, with the score results and a performance evaluation coming up at the very end. If the test is cancelled part way through then no results will be displayed.

If the PC being used does not meet the minimum specifications required to run the Official Benchmark application, the application may automatically close down. In such cases, please adjust the screen size and graphics quality settings, before checking again if the PC confirms with the required environment specifications explained in the Benchmark outline.
