Square Enix has released a trailer showcasing the exciting features coming to the PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Scheduled for release on January 23, 2025, this highly anticipated game will bring a host of advanced enhancements to the PC platform, almost a year after its initial launch on the PS5 in February 2024.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth garnered widespread acclaim upon its PS5 release, earning it a spot among the top contenders for Game of the Year in 2024. Following its three-month exclusivity period on PS5, fans on PC and Xbox eagerly awaited news of its availability on their platforms. While an Xbox release remains uncertain, Square Enix confirmed last month that PC players would soon be able to experience the game.
The trailer not only revealed the PC system requirements but also detailed several exclusive features. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC will support up to 4K resolution and 120fps, promising a visually stunning experience. The game will feature "improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals," although the specifics of these enhancements have yet to be disclosed. Players can customize their experience with three graphical presets—Low, Medium, and High—and an option to adjust the number of NPCs on screen, catering to various hardware capabilities.
In terms of input methods, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will fully support mouse and keyboard on PC. For those who prefer using a controller, the game will also be compatible with the PS5's DualSense controller, complete with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Additionally, the PC version will incorporate Nvidia DLSS technology to enhance performance, though it does not mention support for AMD's FSR, which might affect performance for users with AMD graphics cards.
The wait for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC has been long, but the robust feature set promises an exceptional gaming experience. As Square Enix looks to bolster sales following a less-than-stellar performance on the PS5, the PC release offers a fresh opportunity to captivate a new audience and meet their expectations.
