The highly anticipated second installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, arrives on PC on January 23, 2025. Unlike its predecessor, this PC release offers multiple editions, pre-order bonuses, and save data rewards. This guide clarifies your options.
Where to Buy Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC

The Standard Edition ($69.99, $48.99 with pre-order discount) includes the base game and the Posh Chocobo summoning materia (included in both editions).
Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition ($89.99, $62.99 with pre-order discount) adds:
- Digital Art Book
- Digital Mini Soundtrack
- Summon materia: Magic Pot
