Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Features Detailed by Square Enix

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC Port: A Detailed Look at Enhanced Features

A new trailer confirms a wealth of features for the upcoming PC release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, arriving nearly a year after its PS5 debut. The game, a critical darling and Game of the Year contender in 2024, will finally reach PC gamers on January 23rd, 2025.

Following the recent release of the PC system requirements, Square Enix showcased a range of enhancements specifically tailored for the platform. These include support for resolutions up to 4K and frame rates of 120fps, alongside promises of "improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals." While specifics on these visual upgrades remain undisclosed, players can expect noticeable improvements. Three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) will allow customization based on individual hardware capabilities, with an added option to adjust the number of on-screen NPCs for optimized CPU performance.

Key PC Features:

• Input Options: Full mouse and keyboard support, plus compatibility with the PS5 DualSense controller, leveraging haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
• High-Fidelity Visuals: Up to 4K resolution and 120fps support. Improved lighting and enhanced visuals are promised, though details are yet to be revealed.
• Performance Tuning: Three adjustable graphical presets (High, Medium, Low) and an NPC count slider for CPU optimization.
• Nvidia DLSS: Support for Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling technology is confirmed. Notably, AMD FSR support is absent.

The inclusion of Nvidia DLSS is a significant addition, potentially offering a performance boost for Nvidia GPU users. However, the lack of AMD FSR support might disadvantage players using AMD graphics cards.

The PC release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth boasts a compelling feature set. While the PS5 sales figures weren't spectacular for Square Enix, the robust PC port and considerable player demand could significantly impact the game's overall commercial success on this new platform. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether this PC launch meets Square Enix's expectations.
