Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC Port: A Detailed Look at Enhanced 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, will finally grace PC screens on January 23rd, 2025.
Square Enix has detailed impressive visual enhancements, including support for up to 4K resolution and a smooth 120fps framerate. Expect "improved lighting" and "enhanced visuals," though specifics remain under wraps for now. Players can fine-tune their experience with three graphical presets (Low, Medium, High) and an adjustable NPC count to optimize performance based on their hardware.
Beyond visuals, the PC port boasts comprehensive input options. Mouse and keyboard controls are fully supported, alongside compatibility with the PS5's DualSense controller, complete with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Nvidia DLSS is also included, offering a potential performance boost for compatible hardware. Notably, AMD FSR support is absent, potentially impacting performance for users with AMD graphics cards.
