Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC: A Comprehensive Guide
The highly anticipated sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, arrives on PC on January 23, 2025. This PC release offers multiple editions, pre-order bonuses, and save data rewards, making the purchasing decision a bit more complex. This guide clarifies everything you need to know to choose the best 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. Unfortunately, it will not be available on GOG. Both Steam and the Epic Games Store offer the game at the same price.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Save Data Bonuses
Pre-Order Bonuses
Pre-ordering Final Fantasy VII Rebirth before January 23rd, 13:59 (UTC) unlocks these bonuses, regardless of edition or storefront:
- Summon Materia: Moogle Trio
- Armor: Shinra Bangle Mk. II
- Armor: Midgar Bangle Mk. II
Note: These items may be sold separately later. However, a compelling reason 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 unlocks additional content:
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade main campaign save: Unlocks the Leviathan summoning materia.
- INTERmission DLC campaign save: Unlocks the Ramuh summoning materia.
Ensure you use the same account and that the save data is on the same PC where you install Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PC Editions Explained
Two editions are available: Standard and Digital Deluxe.
Standard Edition
The Standard Edition ($69.99, $48.99 with pre-order discount) includes only the base game and the Posh Chocobo summoning materia (included in both editions). This is the most affordable option for those focused solely on the core game.
Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition ($89.99, $62.99 with pre-order discount) includes:
- Base Game
- 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 obtain the Digital Deluxe Edition content later.
Is the Digital Deluxe Edition Worth It?
For most players, the extra cost of the Digital Deluxe Edition may not be justified. The art book and soundtrack are nice additions, but the extra in-game items offer minimal impact on core gameplay. Unless the additional items are highly desirable, the Standard Edition provides excellent value.
