Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Version: A Deep Dive into its Features

A new trailer confirms a wealth of features for the upcoming PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Launching on January 23rd, 2025, nearly a year after its PS5 debut, the PC port boasts significant enhancements.

Initially a PS5 exclusive, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth quickly became a 2024 Game of the Year contender. Following a short PS5 exclusivity period, PC and Xbox gamers clamored for its release. While an Xbox version remains uncertain, the PC port is now confirmed.

Square Enix recently detailed the PC requirements and followed up with a trailer showcasing exclusive PC features. These include support for resolutions up to 4K and frame rates up to 120fps, along with promises of "improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals." While specifics on these visual upgrades are yet to be revealed, players can expect a noticeable graphical boost. Three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) and an adjustable NPC count option will allow players to optimize performance based on their hardware.

Key Features of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Port:

• Input Options: Mouse and keyboard support, plus full DualSense controller compatibility with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
• High-Resolution Support: Up to 4K resolution and 120fps.
• Visual Enhancements: Improved lighting and enhanced visuals.
• Graphical Presets: Low, Medium, and High settings, with adjustable NPC count for performance tuning.
• Nvidia DLSS: Enabling enhanced performance through Nvidia's upscaling technology.

While Nvidia DLSS is included, the trailer made no mention of AMD FSR, potentially leaving AMD GPU users at a slight performance disadvantage.

The robust feature set suggests a promising PC release. However, Square Enix's PS5 sales figures for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were reportedly below expectations, leaving the PC version's commercial performance an intriguing unknown. The arrival of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC is highly anticipated, and its success on this platform will be closely watched.
