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, this PC release offers 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. Unfortunately, it won't be available on GOG, disappointing DRM-free advocates. 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 might 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
Carry over your save data from Final Fantasy VII Remake to unlock extra content:
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade main campaign save data: Unlocks Leviathan summoning materia.
- INTERmission DLC campaign save data: Unlocks Ramuh summoning materia.
Ensure you use the same account and have the save data on the same PC where Rebirth is installed.
Different Editions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC
Two editions are available: Standard and Digital Deluxe.
Standard Edition
Priced at $69.99 ($48.99 with pre-order discount), the Standard Edition includes the base game and the Posh Chocobo summoning materia (included in both editions).
Digital Deluxe Edition
Priced at $89.99 ($62.99 with pre-order discount), the Digital Deluxe Edition 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 later want the Digital Deluxe content.
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-to-haves, but the extra in-game items offer minimal impact on core gameplay. The Standard Edition offers excellent value for those primarily interested in the main game experience.
