Square Enix Hints at Visual Upgrades for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5

The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly superior visuals compared to the PS5 version but also offers a more stable performance. This disparity has sparked widespread discussion within the gaming community about the necessity for an update tailored for Sony's console. Currently, players on the PS5 are experiencing blurry visuals when using performance mode, and those with the base console have no choice but to patiently await forthcoming patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has expressed optimism about the potential for improvements, stating, "After releasing the promo for the PC version, we received a lot of requests for a similar update for the PS5 version, and I think we'd like to do it at some point within the limits of what's possible with the PS5 version's performance." The gaming community is eagerly anticipating that Square Enix will respond to these fan requests and enhance the console experience.

While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans to remain patient as more information will be disclosed in due time. He highlighted that 2024 marked a prosperous year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment in the trilogy, which garnered attention from players worldwide and secured numerous awards. Looking ahead, the third installment of Final Fantasy VII poses unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fan base. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed his admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI this year, noting the immense pressure the Rockstar Games team faces following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
