Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PC Features Detailed by Square Enix

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC Port: A Detailed Look at the 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 players on January 23rd, 2025.

Square Enix has detailed impressive graphical capabilities, including support for up to 4K resolution and a smooth 120fps framerate. Beyond the resolution and frame rate, expect "improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals," though specifics remain under wraps for now. Players will have the flexibility to adjust their experience with three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) and an option to control the number of on-screen NPCs, optimizing performance based on individual hardware.

Key PC Features:

• Input Options: Full mouse and keyboard support alongside compatibility with the PS5 DualSense controller, complete with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
• High-Resolution Visuals: Up to 4K resolution and 120fps.
• Enhanced Graphics: Improved lighting and unspecified visual enhancements.
• Performance Tuning: Three adjustable graphical presets (High, Medium, Low), plus NPC count adjustment.
• Nvidia DLSS Support: Boost performance with Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling.

While Nvidia DLSS is confirmed, AMD's FSR technology is absent from the current announcement, potentially impacting performance for users with AMD graphics cards.

The robust feature set suggests a strong PC port, but its commercial success remains to be seen. Square Enix's PS5 sales figures were reportedly below expectations, making the PC launch a significant opportunity for the company. The anticipation is high amongst PC gamers, and the coming weeks will reveal if this port meets, or even surpasses, expectations.
