Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Version: A Closer 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, nearly a year after its PS5 debut, the PC port boasts significant enhancements.

Following its highly successful and critically acclaimed PS5 exclusive launch in February 2024 (a game many considered a Game of the Year contender), demand for a PC and Xbox release was high. While an Xbox port remains unconfirmed, Square Enix delivered on the PC version announcement last month.

The recently released trailer showcases impressive visual upgrades. Expect support for up to 4K resolution and a smooth 120fps frame rate, alongside "improved lighting" and unspecified "enhanced visuals." Players will have three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) to optimize performance based on their hardware, plus the ability to adjust the number of on-screen NPCs for better CPU management.

Here's a breakdown of the confirmed PC features:

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Features:

• Mouse and keyboard support
• 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
• NPC count adjustment option
• Nvidia DLSS support

While the inclusion of mouse and keyboard and DualSense controller support caters to diverse preferences, the absence of AMD FSR support is noteworthy. This might put players with AMD graphics cards at a slight performance disadvantage compared to those using Nvidia GPUs.

The robust feature set suggests a strong PC release. However, Square Enix's previous PS5 sales figures were reportedly below expectations. The PC version's commercial performance remains to be seen. The anticipation is high, and only time will tell if this PC port meets Square Enix's sales goals.
