Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC Port Detailed: Enhanced Visuals and Robust Features Confirmed
A new trailer showcases the extensive features coming to the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, launching January 23rd, 2025. Following its successful PS5 debut in February 2024, the highly anticipated PC port promises a significant upgrade for players.
The trailer highlights support for resolutions up to 4K and frame rates of 120fps, alongside improved lighting and enhanced visuals. While specifics on these enhancements remain undisclosed, three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) will allow players to optimize performance based on their hardware. A customizable NPC count setting further aids performance tuning, particularly for CPU-bound systems.
Beyond graphical fidelity, the PC port boasts comprehensive input options. Players can utilize mouse and keyboard controls, or opt for the immersive experience offered by the PS5 DualSense controller, complete with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Nvidia DLSS support is confirmed, potentially boosting performance on compatible hardware. However, the absence of AMD FSR support may disadvantage players using AMD graphics cards.
Key Features of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Port:
- Resolution and Frame Rate: Up to 4K resolution and 120fps.
- Visual Enhancements: Improved lighting and enhanced visuals.
- Graphical Presets: Low, Medium, and High settings with adjustable NPC count.
- Input Support: Mouse and keyboard, PS5 DualSense controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
- Upscaling: Nvidia DLSS support.
The near year-long wait for the PC release appears justified by the robust feature set. While Square Enix's PS5 sales figures for Rebirth were reportedly below expectations, the PC launch presents a significant opportunity to broaden the game's reach and potentially improve its overall commercial performance. The addition of these features should make the PC version a compelling option for players who missed out on the initial PS5 release.
