For Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on the PS5, Square Enix has alluded to visual enhancements

The PC version of the game boasts significantly improved visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, sparking widespread community discussion about the need for a PS5 update. The PS5 version currently suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners with little option but to wait for future patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the player demand, stating that improvements are technically feasible within the PS5's limitations: “After releasing the PC version promo, we received many requests for a similar PS5 update, and we'd like to explore that possibility, within the constraints of the PS5's performance capabilities.”

Fans eagerly await Square Enix's response to these requests for enhanced console visuals. While the team is actively developing the sequel, Hamaguchi asks for patience, promising further details at a later date. He highlights the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the trilogy, describing 2024 as a prosperous year for the title, with global recognition and multiple award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentions Grand Theft Auto VI among his notable games of the year, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
