Square Enix Hints at Visual Upgrades for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5

The PC version of the game not only boasts significantly superior visuals compared to the PS5 version but also offers a more stable performance. This has sparked discussions 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 with no choice but to await future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged the potential for improvements, stating, "After releasing the promo for the PC version, we received numerous 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's performance."

The gaming community is eagerly anticipating that Square Enix will respond to these fan requests and enhance the visual quality on the PS5. While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has urged fans to remain patient, promising that more details will be shared in due time. Reflecting on the past year, Hamaguchi highlighted 2024 as a successful period for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment in the trilogy, which garnered attention and accolades from players worldwide. Looking ahead, the third installment of Final Fantasy VII is poised to tackle unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fan base.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed admiration for another major title this year, Grand Theft Auto VI. He voiced support for the Rockstar Games team, acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
