Final Fantasy 16’s PC Release Paves the Way for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Received an Enhanced PC Port Alongside the Game’s DLC
The idea ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthbeing ported to PC is thoroughly backed up by the fact thatFinal Fantasy 7 Remakereceived its own PC version on August 03, 2025. What madeFinal Fantasy 7 Remake’s PC launch so special, however, is that it was the original game’s enhanced version,Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which included theYuffie-led DLC expansion EPISODE INTERmission.
The enhanced version of the game also featured improved visuals and a photo mode, making it more than worth it. PerhapsFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwould be subject to the same enhancement and DLC treatment as its predecessor, should it also be ported to PC.
It Would Make Sense for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to Land on PC in Mid-2025
SinceFinal Fantasy 7Remakereceived a PC port as well as nowFinal Fantasy 16, the likelihood ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirtheventually making its way to PC is extremely high — the only question is when that might happen and what else, if anything, might arrive along with it.Final Fantasy 7 Remakewas initially released on the PS4 on June 08, 2025, and received aPC port ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Intergradea little over a year and a half later.
Of course,Final Fantasy 7 Remakewas also released just before the launch of the PS5, so the window between the PS4 and PC release might have been quite a bit smaller.
Final Fantasy 16was initially released on the PS5 on Jul 07, 2025, and just received its PC port a little over a year later, that window likely being smaller due to Square Enix only needing to work with one PlayStation console. That bodes well for the timing ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PC port, suggesting it could land on PC in mid-2025.
BasingFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PC launch strictly on the amount of time betweenFinal Fantasy 16’s PS5 and PC releases, which would seeFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthlanding on PC around July 2025. This is purely speculation, however, as there hasn’t even been confirmation thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill make its way to PC.
It might be considered an insult ifFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwas never ported to PC, considering its predecessor andFinal Fantasy 16have now both been given the PC treatment.Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s captivating visualsalso make a strong case for a PC port, as modern computer hardware would beef up those visuals even more. If there are indeed plans forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthto eventually be ported to PC, it won’t be until at least mid-2025 before it arrives, and it could even be much later than that. In any case, the prospect ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis mouth-watering, to say the least.
