Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Version: A Detailed Look at the Features
A new trailer confirms a wealth of features for the upcoming PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Launching on January 23rd, 2025, almost a year after its PS5 debut, the PC port boasts significant enhancements.
Initially a PS5 exclusive, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth quickly garnered critical acclaim, becoming a 2024 Game of the Year contender. Following a short PS5 exclusivity period, PC and Xbox gamers eagerly awaited its arrival. While an Xbox release remains uncertain, the PC version is now confirmed.
Square Enix recently detailed the PC requirements and followed up with a trailer showcasing exclusive PC features. These include support for up to 4K resolution and a smooth 120fps frame rate, along with promised "improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals." While specifics on these visual upgrades are still under wraps, players can expect a noticeable visual boost. Three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) will allow for customization based on individual hardware. An adjustable NPC count setting aims to optimize CPU performance.
Key Features of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Port:
- Mouse and keyboard support
- PS5 DualSense controller support (with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers)
- Up to 4K resolution and 120fps
- Improved lighting and enhanced visuals
- Three adjustable graphical presets: High, Medium, Low (with adjustable NPC count)
- Nvidia DLSS support
Interestingly, the trailer made no mention of AMD FSR support, potentially leaving AMD GPU users at a slight performance disadvantage compared to Nvidia users.
The PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is generating considerable excitement. The impressive feature set promises a compelling experience, but the game's commercial success on PC remains to be seen, especially considering Square Enix's previous comments on PS5 sales. Only time will tell if the PC version meets their expectations.
