Square Enix Hints at 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, sparking 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 eagerly anticipating patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has acknowledged the possibility of improvements within the technical constraints of the PS5. "After releasing the promo for the PC version, we received numerous requests for a similar update for the PS5 version, and I believe we'd like to address this at some point, within the limits of what's possible with the PS5's performance," Hamaguchi stated.

Fans are hopeful that Square Enix will heed these requests and enhance the console's visuals.

While the development team is diligently working on the sequel, Hamaguchi has asked fans for patience, promising more details in the future. He reflected on 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy Rebirth, the second installment of the trilogy, which garnered global attention and numerous awards. Looking ahead, the third installment of Final Fantasy VII poses unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fan base.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also expressed admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI, noting that the title caught his attention this year. He voiced support for the Rockstar Games team, recognizing the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
