Aug 9, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a dream come true on PC, offering gorgeous visuals, vastly improved frame rates, and more. Square Enix has put together its best PC port yet, despite some room to grow in the future with areas like Ultrawide support. Simply put, this is one of the best RPGs ever created, and it's an instant must-own title for any RPG fan on PC.

Jul 2, 2025Ok look, cards aside, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is a wild, ambitious retelling of that original story that dances carefully between nostalgia and complete narrative changes. I was surprised to see a certain character interact with another character so early in the tale, and the changes just kept on coming from there; but in a good way. Each of the character felt like they had more depth this time around, and the side missions don’t just feel like extra padding like in Remake. The story has it all, humor? Yep. Trauma. Oh, it’s here for sure in some big doses. Even though I already know the story beats from Final Fantasy 7 but Rebirth still managed to surprise me time and time again in the best way. Come for the Queen’s Blood, stay for the excellent Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth tale.

Jan 27, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues to blow me away with its thoughtful remake of one of the best games ever created, expanding the incredible story and opening up the gameplay to a more broadly appealing, exciting experience.
-
Jan 22, 2025Technically and graphically, the PC version even goes one step further than the original. New features such as support for up to 120 FPS, customized lighting and improved light rendering make Rebirth shine even more beautifully than before. Provided you have a powerful PC with an even stronger graphics card that can withstand the demands. In our test with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor with 32 GB RAM and a GeForce RTX 3090, we had a few small stutters with the "Medium" graphics preset at a resolution of 1080p, especially in the video sequences, even though both the CPU and GPU were above the data recommended by Square Enix.
-
Jan 22, 2025The game looks better than ever while still delivering on the gameplay that made it a hit in the first place.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a masterpiece, featuring exceptional characters, stunning environments, engaging combat mechanics, and captivating performances that hold up even after a third playthrough. It is a game everyone should experience.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC elevates the already stellar experience with exceptional optimization, quality-of-life improvements, and expanded gameplay customization. Its immersive exploration, engaging combat, and stunning visuals make it a must-play for fans of JRPGs, whether newcomers or returning players.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth on PC is much more than a simple conversion: it's a technical reinterpretation that takes full advantage of the platform's capabilities. The exemplary optimization, numerous customization options, and surprising performance on Steam Deck leaves us with an exceptional port and great work by Square Enix in bringing this work of art to as many players as possible.
-
Feb 4, 2025By the end of Rebirth, Cloud and the others aren't at the ending of Final Fantasy VII by a wide margin, so the eventual third game rounding out this trilogy is sure to be quite a large one. With a huge amount of content, a deep story, and combat that improves upon the previous game's style, players may end up falling in love with the world of Final Fantasy VII all over again, or alternatively for the first time if they have yet to play this gem and its initial remake. That is not recommended by any means, the game tends to expect you to have played Final Fantasy VII as well as Remake, however, so keep that in mind before you mosey into Rebirth!
-
Jun 10, 2025There’s not much I can critique about FFVII Rebirth. It reminded me of everything I love and appreciate about the original game while granting a new perspective. It’s a wonderful action RPG with some addicting minigames to boot. I like the slight element of choice interspersed throughout the narrative as well. I can see where some of the more original aspects of FFVII Rebirth’s story could be divisive to fans of the original, but for my part, I felt they helped set the stage for what could be a wholly new experience (a rebirth, if you will). Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a game I’m glad I played as a fan of the original and a newcomer to this remake trilogy, as it’s an excellent Final Fantasy title with its own merit. I’m now curious and eager to see how this game’s ending might change what’s coming next.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth successfully expands the universe of the original game, offering an experience that combines vast explorable regions, refined gameplay mechanics, and a deep and engaging combat system. The technical improvements of the PC version, such as support for 4K, DLSS, and frame rates up to 120 fps, enhance the visuals and fluidity, making this edition the best way to enjoy the adventure. Although some secondary activities sometimes break the narrative rhythm, the title impresses with its ability to reinterpret classic events and expand the story, in order to give emotions to long-time fans and newcomers alike.
-
Jan 29, 2025Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's improved graphics, smooth performance and rich content make the PC version worth playing.
-
Jan 27, 2025In technical terms, the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is highly functional, whether playing on a PC with all the benefits of current technology or on the trendy handheld that sometimes feels outdated. Everything that made Square Enix's game great on consoles lives up to its brilliance in this port.
-
Jan 22, 2025While the content is the same as on PS5, Final Fantasy VII Remake on PC is a superior game in all technical aspects, as long as you have a computer capable of running it in Ultra. If that's your case, don't hesitate: it's one of the first must-haves of 2025 on PC. It's as simple as that.
-
Jan 22, 2025An outstanding example of a modern RPG and tantamount for any PC players with limited experience in Square Enix’s portfolio.
-
Jan 22, 2025Square Enix delivers a more polished and visually enhanced PC version of this iconic remake, with improved scalability and numerous graphical options. However, it lacks certain features like unlocked FPS and DLSS quality settings, which could elevate the experience further.
-
Jan 22, 2025The result is a "definitive" version of the game from a technical point of view which offers a slightly finer rendering than on PS5 Pro, even in Ultra. On the other hand, it is rather at the level of keyboard/mouse controls that the experience remains largely better with the controller. In any case, the PC port of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains an excellent way to discover the title while waiting for the third and final part of the FF7 remake planned in a few years.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is just as brilliant now as it was last year, and now you can play it on your PC or even on the Steam Deck.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC delivers impressive and smooth visuals, perfect for enthusiasts. With an exceptional soundtrack, an immersive story, and charismatic characters, it’s the ideal game to kick off the year. However, the lack of full compatibility with ultrawide monitors and the requirement to use a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse slightly limit the experience.
-
Apr 8, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth stands out as a significant reinvention of a classic, ambitiously expanding and reimagining its narrative, characters, and setting. The PC port elevates the experience with technical improvements and tweakable options, though there are still minor issues, such as a lack of support for certain technologies. Still, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a remarkable title that celebrates the legacy of the original while charting new paths. It’s an imperfect journey, but one filled with memorable moments that reaffirm the impact and relevance of this universe for fans new and old.
-
Apr 8, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC is the definitive version, with improved graphics, new lighting, and DLSS. Despite stutters and pop-ups, it's great for Remake fans.
-
Mar 12, 2025As a standalonegame, it is uniquely vast, diverse, fun, and exciting. But as a sequel to the Remake... That's another story.
-
Feb 27, 2025Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth on PC represents a high-quality port able to satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers alike.With outstanding performance and impeccable visuals, it showcases a strong commitment to enhancing the experience on a new platform.While some customization options are limited, and ultrawide screen support is absent, the overall experience remains immersive and unforgettable, making it one of the best PC conversions in recent memory.
-
Feb 13, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an excellent JRPG that does justice to the legendary original. While this breathtaking journey occasionally loses momentum, it quickly pulls you back in with unforgettable moments. A linear story is complemented by a fantastic open world filled with engaging activities that breathe life into both your party and the world itself. As a bonus, it’s a well-optimized port with no technical issues, offering plenty of settings and ways to tailor the experience to your liking.
-
Feb 10, 2025Square Enix managed to do a good job with the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth after some mistakes on the platform. It's still not an exceptional job due to the lack of graphical options and performance, but overall we have a port with incredible graphics, far above the PS5. The definitive version of Rebirth is on PC without a doubt.
-
Feb 6, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the best games of recent years, with an amazing world, atmosphere, soundtrack, gameplay dynamics and visual style. The PC version makes this experience one of the best in terms of visuals and almost seamless performance. Thanks to its great optimization and a wide range of graphics settings, we have a PC port that even players with average PC systems can easily play. If you love the original Final Fantasy VII and want to play it at its best, you should not miss Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC version.
-
Feb 4, 2025The PC version of the game Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the best way to experience this legendary JRPG title and see all its visual splendor, but a few technical issues prevent it from receiving the perfect score that the console version deserves.
-
Feb 4, 2025The PC port of this RPG masterpiece beats the PS5 version by far, but it could have been much better.
-
Feb 2, 2025Impressive, well-crafted, content-rich, Rebirth makes good use of the legend of the classic Final Fantasy VII.
-
Jan 23, 2025Day and night is the best way to define my experience with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC, compared to that of PlayStation 5. The version that Square Enix achieved for computers far exceeds that of consoles graphically and technically. It gives us a very wide range of options to modify our experience, and understands perfectly how to adapt it.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has found its definitive version on PC. The game looks and plays amazingly well. The limited and sometimes odd options can be a bit too restrictive, but if you can find a setup that works for you, it should be smooth, clean sailing.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth makes its way to PC packed with a range of technical improvements. It plays great, looks fantastic and is easily the best Final Fantasy PC port in recent memory.
-
Jan 22, 2025The second part of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy has also found its way to PC, which is a positive trend at the moment and the developers have done it very well.
-
Jan 22, 2025Square Enix puts its best face forward with an excellent PC port for one of its best games in years. It's not totally perfect, but the truth is that they have managed to encapsulate the best of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on a new platform.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is still an amazing game that looks even better on PC. While there are some weird restrictions in the PC settings, it's the best way to play the second part in what is so far a great trilogy of remakes.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy 7 Remake was a great example of how to rebuild a classic for modern audiences. 7 Rebirth follows the same trajectory, while also building upon every aspect of the previous. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a well-optimized PC port that shows Square Enix learned a lot from its predecessor, both technologically, and otherwise. Deeper combat gameplay, a massive world with a boatload of side content, with every major location from the previous game rebuilt and celebrated in new and unexpected ways. While some of the game's open world content can devolve into a bit of a Ubisoft-style collect-a-thon, some of the quests add interesting new lore and come with potent rewards and bespoke dungeons along the way. FF7 Rebirth shines most in its more linear story-heavy sections in my view, which absolutely over-deliver on the nostalgic expectations of fans of the original, all while creating something fresh. I'm still sceptical of Final Fantasy 7's "newer" plot elements, but it doesn't stop the game from being an absolute trip, for fans both old and new.
-
Jan 23, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is still an amazing JRPG, and Its PC version elevates the experience it provides in all the right ways.
-
Feb 10, 2025The PC Version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is the ultimate version to experience the game with, deeming the PlayStation 5 Pro unnecessary, however, the game still suffers from some technical issues, especially if you are not on a high end PC.
-
Feb 5, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth works really well on PC but heavily relies on DLSS to run smoothly. With no FSR support (yet at least), only DLSS makes the game look nice. The TAA and the TAAU make the game look blurry, especially on the Steam Deck where the Verified badge is underserved. However, if you are lucky to have a DLSS capable PC, the enjoyment this game provides cannot be overstated.
-
Jan 22, 2025The PC version of FF VII Rebirth is certainly a solid one, especially for those with lower-spec systems or handhelds, but it is a little on the disappointing side for those looking for something special on their higher-end rigs.
-
Feb 3, 2025Final Fantasy VII fans should already expect this to be a vastly different experience in more ways than one to the original classic game, and the sooner that is accepted, the better, because there is a huge, fun and memorable time to be had in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Despite the slower and drawn-out segments, the characters, combat, and doubling down on the optional content and lore means this is a role-playing game that will satisfy most genre enthusiasts.
-
Jan 23, 2025Controlling the game with mouse and keyboard doesn’t quite hit the mark, but with better lighting and frame rates as well as more consistent and crisper detail Rebirth looks best on PC.
-
Jan 23, 2025Final Fantasy VII Rebirth isn’t a perfect game, but it’s a great one. Its combat, world-building, characters, art direction, and music are still impressive and probably always will be. It remains a game worth playing, both for Final Fantasy fans and any devotee of action RPGs. On the other hand, the port to PC is only a marginal improvement over the PS5 version. There are simply too many technical issues. In its present form, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC is not the ultimate experience of the game that it promises to be.
-
Jan 22, 2025The PC version of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is a powerful experience that really shows what modern hardware can do for gaming. If you love the game's story and have been waiting for the PC version, you won't be disappointed. Square Enix has delivered a solid port that allows even more players to experience this epic adventure. The game's strong technical foundation, combined with an already fantastic story and gameplay, makes it a release worth considering even if you already know the story from previous versions.
-
Jan 22, 2025Like its PS5 Pro version, FF7 Rebirth PC allows you to combine Performance and Fidelity, and does so overall better than its console counterpart, at all levels. We can, however, regret the absence of AMD's FSR, Ray Tracing effects or Frame Generation, at least at its launch, as well as some small visual hiccups. The fact that the game is Steam Deck Verified is on the other hand a huge plus. If the compromises of the original PS5 put you off or if you were waiting for it to come out on PC to enjoy it in the best possible conditions, the latest game in Square Enix's flagship franchise is overall clearly worth the investment.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is an RPG unlike any other, reaching through time, space, and the screen to leave a mark on you in a way few other games can. Some of its open-world design is outdated and uninspired, and it can be irritatingly stop-start at points, but the emotional highs help it to overcome these flaws. You owe it to yourself to play Rebirth, and this new PC version is the best way to do it.
-
Jan 22, 2025Being so devoted to Final Fantasy 7 means that there’s a lot of love to be found in Rebirth. And as a fan of that original game, it was so easy, for a while at least, to be swept up in the dazzling sights of Gaia, in the vibrant amusement park of games and sidequests at my fingertips, to hop on this rollercoaster journey with many of my all-time favorite characters and give myself to the joy of being able to spend more time with them. But all the charm and pageantry in the world can only distract me for so long before I realize: nothing has happened this whole vacation. The ship hasn’t even left the dock.

Jan 23, 2025Square Enix is a studio that hasn't left the PC behind, but it hasn't greatly benefited from it either. Mistakes are meant to be learned from, and after a Final Fantasy XVI that perhaps stumbled due to Luminous Engine, Rebirth is a solid, powerful, and visually stunning.[Recommended]
-
Jan 22, 2025Personally, I was left with mixed feelings – but I should also add that I don't have nostalgia for the original game like so many do, and Rebirth feels like a game specifically designed for fans of the original in the passionate way many of the moments, arcs and locations are depicted and fleshed out here. I enjoyed spending time with the core characters, the world-building is impressive and the soundtrack is truly superb. I had plenty of fun with the battle system as well. However, I found the narrative pacing poor and the open-world elements often tedious. The game is stuffed with minigames yet their quality is inconsistent, and there were late-game segments that I found to be a slog.
-
Jan 22, 2025The best part of the new port is the potential for all the upcoming mods. All of my complaints can be fixed by the community through mods, although Square Enix should address them directly first. Overall, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth looks and runs better than its PS5 counterpart on PC. The amount of options and scalability is enough to satisfy most PC gamers with modern hardware, and certain quirks can be fixed with quick updates.
-
Jan 22, 2025The PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth adopts some bizarre solutions regarding the graphics settings and certain options are still missing, but in terms of performance the game already appears very well optimized and potentially scalable on different types of configurations...Of course, beyond the purely technical aspects there is the great substance of an adventure that will certainly be able to involve you for dozens and dozens of hours, thanks to an almost always brilliant narrative section, an even more exciting hybrid combat system and the charm of an open world full of things to do and see.
-
Jan 22, 2025Final Fantasy Rebirth is imperfect, incautious, uneven, and gloriously, fearlessly unfocused. Final Fantasy Rebirth is unmissable.
-
Jan 22, 2025Even in its PC version, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to the saga in the last 18 years. With this new look, and with a level of detail that is truly enviable for those who can afford the highest settings, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the new glimmer of hope for all those fans who felt betrayed by the most discussed and controversial chapters of this beloved saga.
-
Jan 22, 2025For those about to play Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the first time, enjoy the ride. You’ll find out why it’s one of the highest-rated games of 2024. Those who played the initial PlayStation 5 release last year, well, some games truly are worth buying twice. [Highly Recommended]
