Square Enix has shared exciting details about the PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is set to launch on January 23, 2025. In a recent trailer, the developer highlighted several platform-specific features designed to take advantage of PC hardware, ensuring a premium experience for fans.
Originally released as a PS5 exclusive in February 2024, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was one of the year’s most critically acclaimed games. Its timed exclusivity window ended after three months, sparking anticipation among PC players. While Xbox users are still waiting for confirmation of a release, the PC port aims to deliver an enhanced experience tailored for the platform.
PC-Specific Features
Square Enix promises a host of improvements and options for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC, including:
- Resolution and Frame Rates: Support for up to 4K resolution and 120fps for ultra-smooth gameplay.
- Enhanced Visuals: Improved lighting and overall graphical enhancements (specifics remain under wraps).
- Adjustable Graphical Settings: Players can choose from three presets—Low, Medium, and High—and control the number of NPCs on screen to optimize performance.
- Input Options: Full support for mouse and keyboard, alongside the PS5 DualSense controller, complete with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
- Nvidia DLSS: Upscaling technology to boost frame rates without sacrificing visual quality.
While the addition of Nvidia DLSS is a boon for players with compatible hardware, the trailer made no mention of AMD’s FSR technology, which could put players using AMD GPUs at a disadvantage in terms of performance optimization.
The PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth comes almost a year after its initial debut, and Square Enix has included features aimed at leveraging the power of gaming PCs. With the PS5 version falling short of Square Enix’s sales expectations, the company will undoubtedly be monitoring how the game performs on PC.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been a highly anticipated arrival for PC players, and the new features should help deliver a next-level experience. Fans can look forward to immersing themselves in Midgar and beyond when the game launches on January 23.
