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 23rd, 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 for 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. Both Steam and 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), grants you these items, regardless of edition or storefront:
- 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
Carry over your save data from Final Fantasy VII Remake to unlock exclusive in-game 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 that save data resides on the same PC where Rebirth is installed.
Different Editions Explained
PC players can choose between the Standard Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition.
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:
- 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 might not be justified. The additional items are bonuses, not significant gameplay additions. The Standard Edition offers excellent value for those prioritizing the core game experience. Consider if the art book, soundtrack, and extra in-game items are worth the premium before purchasing.
