Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC: A Comprehensive Guide
The highly anticipated second installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, arrives on PC on January 23, 2025. Unlike its predecessor, Rebirth offers PC players multiple editions, pre-order bonuses, and save data rewards. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to choose the perfect edition for you.
Where to Buy Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC
PC gamers can purchase Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Note that the game will not be available on GOG, meaning DRM-free options are unavailable at launch.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Save Data Bonuses
Pre-Order Bonuses
Pre-ordering Final Fantasy VII Rebirth before January 23rd, 13:59 (UTC) unlocks the following:
- Summon Materia: Moogle Trio
- Armor: Shinra Bangle Mk. II
- Armor: Midgar Bangle Mk. II
While these items might be sold separately later, a significant incentive to pre-order is the current 30% discount on all editions, valid until the release date.
Save Data Bonuses
Carrying over save data from Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and INTERmission DLC unlocks additional content:
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade save data: Unlocks Leviathan summoning materia.
- INTERmission DLC save data: Unlocks Ramuh summoning materia.
Ensure you use the same account and have the save data on the PC where Rebirth is installed.
Different Editions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC
PC players can choose between the Standard Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Standard Edition
The Standard Edition ($69.99, $48.99 with pre-order discount) includes the base game and the Posh Chocobo summoning materia (included in both editions).
Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition ($89.99, $62.99 with pre-order discount) adds:
- Digital Art Book
- Digital Mini Soundtrack
- Summon materia: Magic Pot
- Accessory: Reclaimant Choker
- Armor: Orchid Bracelet
Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade
A $20 upgrade is available for Standard Edition owners who wish to acquire the Digital Deluxe Edition content later.
Is the Digital Deluxe Edition Worth It?
For most players, the extra cost of the Digital Deluxe Edition might not be justified. The additional in-game items offer minor enhancements, while the art book and soundtrack are supplementary content. The Standard Edition provides the core game experience at a lower price point. Consider your budget and whether the extra digital content significantly impacts your enjoyment before committing to the Deluxe Edition.
