Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally coming to PC! It’s nearly a year of waiting since the exclusive launch of FF7 Rebirth on the PS5 on 24 February 2024. But the wait is almost over, the PC Port of FF7 Rebirth is going to arrive soon. Let’s check out the Release Date, Time, and Countdown for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for PC.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth) PC: Release Date, Time & Countdown
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for PC will be released on the Steam Store Page on 23 January 2025. Since the Steam Store Page refreshes at around 10 AM PST or 1 PM ET, FF7 Rebirth for PC is expected to unlock or release at around 10 AM PT/PST, 1 PM ET, or 6 PM GMT for the folks living in the United Kingdom.
The reveal trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC has been touting some “features” if one could call them. Notable improvements include Improved Lighting, Customizable NPC Count depending upon your CPU’s specs, Mouse and Keyboard support, and a frame rate cap of 4K at 120 FPS. Filler features include support for DualSense Edge which is still pretty welcome, three graphics presets, Nvidia DLSS 3.5, and Frame Generation.
Does Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Have Ray Tracing or RTX Support?
There are a few notable concerns in the gaming community about RTX or Ray Tracing when talking about the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Port. No, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PC Port will not use Ray Tracing or RTX. Props to Square Enix for the astounding lighting and Visual Fidelity achieved without using any Ray Tracing implementations–which honestly tanks performance more than it gives back.
All the lighting effects in FF7 Rebirth are “baked in” which means there are no Ray Tracing or performance tanking lighting systems. Hopefully, the game is released with an optimized PC port–which is something that is becoming rarer and rarer in the current state of the Gaming Industry.
