Square Enix Teases Visual Upgrades for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5

The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly enhanced visuals compared to the PS5 version but also offers a more stable performance. This disparity has sparked widespread discussion within the gaming community about the necessity for an update tailored for Sony's console.

Currently, the PS5 version suffers from blurry visuals when set to performance mode, leaving base console owners eagerly awaiting patches. Naoki Hamaguchi, the game director, has acknowledged the potential for improvements within the PS5's technical constraints. He stated, "After releasing the promo for the PC version, we received a lot of requests for a similar update for the PS5 version, and I think we'd like to do it at some point within the limits of what's possible with the PS5 version's performance." Players are optimistic that Square Enix will heed these fan requests and enhance the console's visual experience.

While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans to be patient, promising more details will be forthcoming. He highlighted that 2024 was a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment of the trilogy, which garnered attention and accolades worldwide. As the developers prepare for the third installment of Final Fantasy VII, they face unique challenges with the goal of expanding the game's fan base. Additionally, Hamaguchi expressed his interest in Grand Theft Auto VI this year, showing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
