Summary

  • The first PC patch for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth focuses on stability and bug fixes.
  • Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was released for PC on January 23, 2025.
  • While the game has seen incredible player numbers on PC, some players have reported performance issues.

The initial PC update for “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” has been rolled out, focusing on resolving some of the stability problems that arose with its recent port. Originally launched on Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 23, almost a year after it debuted to acclaim on the PS5, this PC version lacks additional content but boasts improved graphics and faster frame rates for compatible systems. This enables players who didn’t experience the game initially to explore the world of “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” like they never have before.

To date, “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” has had a strong debut on PC platforms, according to Steam data. In its initial weekend, it attracted nearly three times as many simultaneous players as “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” did when it launched on PC in 2021. Despite the impressive start, some gamers have encountered performance problems such as crashes, decreased frame rates, and texture issues during the game’s open-world sections.

The initial PC update for “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” has been rolled out, as confirmed on its official Steam page. This patch, labeled Version 1.001, mainly concentrates on enhancing the game’s performance by resolving various bugs and technical issues. For the first time playing “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth” on a Steam Deck, the graphics settings will automatically default to ‘Low’. Any subsequent adjustments made to these settings will be saved for future gaming sessions. Furthermore, for PCs that support Nvidia DLSS, the default setting for “Anti-Aliasing Method” has been changed to “DLSS”. Lastly, the DirectStorage Dynamic Link Library has been updated to its latest version.

Players find the PC version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, recently updated, particularly appealing because it’s simpler to create and set up mods on PCs. Gamers have quickly begun altering the base game in various manners. The director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Naoki Hamaguchi, openly endorses modding and admittedly uses a few mods himself, though he advises players to be cautious when installing them.

As a dedicated gamer diving into the world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, I’m really hopeful that this first official PC update patch will ensure a smoother gaming experience for all of us. The game has been making waves on Steam, and it’s even more enticing now with its special discount running until February 5, 2025.

Meanwhile, Square Enix is hard at work on the third chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series. Recently, Yoshinori Kitase, producer of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that the game’s storyline has been finalized and active development is underway. So, fellow gamers, let’s stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated title!
