The PC version introduces new features and customizations to take full advantage of the platform:

Connecting a DualSense controller with a PC allows players to use the same controls as the PS5 version. Keyboard and mouse support has also been added, alongside the option to freely customize the controls between world exploration and combat or mini-games.
STEAM DECK
The Steam version is planned to be playable on Steam Deck as well.
Players can pre-order FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH on PC via Steam or the Epic Games Store and take advantage of an Early Bird discount of up to 30% off across all editions for a limited time. Additionally, those who pre-order will receive the Moogle Trio Summoning Materia, giving access to a powerful summon for their first steps into the unknown journey. The preorder bonus also includes a Shinra Bangle Mk: II and a Midgar Bangle Mk: II. The Posh Chocobo Summoning Materia will also be offered to all players who purchase the PC version of the game regardless of their purchase timing.
A full list of digital editions available for pre-order is as follows:
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH was named Game of the Year by USA Today, and was also awarded the Best Score and Music at The Game Awards 2024 show. The company's highly acclaimed hit, which earned over 110 perfect review scores from global critics, was also nominated at The Game Awards 2024 for Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best RPG, Best Performance (Briana White as Aerith), and Best Audio Design.
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH is a new, standalone adventure set across a vast and vibrant planet. The game sees Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII escape from the dystopian city of Midgar into the wide world beyond. To hunt down Sephiroth, a haunting figure from Cloud's past bent on ruling the planet, these unlikely heroes join forces with new companions like the spirited ninja operative Yuffie and the wisecracking, feline-shaped robot Cait Sith. FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH delivers an unforgettable experience to players filled with unexpected twists, memorable characters and jaw-dropping set pieces that longtime fans and newcomers can both enjoy.
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH follows the previous installment, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, which was released in 2020 to universal acclaim from players and critics around the globe. FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE became the highest-selling digital release on the PlayStation platform in SQUARE ENIX's history, exceeding more than 7 million shipments and digital sales worldwide since its release.
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH is currently available for the PS5 console, with enhanced support for PlayStation 5 Pro, and will be available for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store on Jan. 23, 2025.
