Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Features Unveiled by Square Enix

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

A new trailer showcases the impressive features coming to the PC port of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, launching nearly a year after its PS5 debut. The PC version promises a significant upgrade, boasting high-resolution visuals and enhanced performance.

Initially a PS5 exclusive (February 2024), Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth quickly became a critical darling and a 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 launch is confirmed for January 23, 2025.

Hot on the heels of the PC requirements announcement, Square Enix detailed the enhanced features in a recent trailer. Prepare for stunning visuals with support for up to 4K resolution and a smooth 120fps framerate. "Improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals" are promised, though specifics remain under wraps for now. Players can expect three adjustable graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) and the ability to control the number of on-screen NPCs, optimizing performance based on hardware capabilities.

Key Features of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Port:

• 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 graphical presets: High, Medium, Low, with adjustable NPC count
• Nvidia DLSS support

Notably, while the PS5's DualSense controller is supported, AMD FSR upscaling technology is absent, potentially impacting performance for users with AMD graphics cards.

The year-long wait for the PC version appears justified, given the robust feature set. However, the commercial success on PC remains to be seen, especially considering Square Enix's previous assessment of PS5 sales. Only time will tell if the PC port meets their expectations.
