Square Enix has announced the release of the new 1.05 patch for Fantasy VII Rebirth. The update notably adds Versatility Mode for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. The mode will combine both the 60FPS of Performance Mode and the high resolution of Graphic Mode by using PSSR. The enhanced version of the PlayStation 5 will launch on November 7 for $699.99 / £699.99. It will launch as a digital only console but will be compatible with the current external disc drive which is available as a standalone purchase. In a recent Square Enix earnings call, highlighted by Bloomberg, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu revealed that Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have failed to meet sales expectations. What those expectations are have yet to be revealed, but it is worth noting that these games are currently exclusive to the PlayStation 5. Square Enix recently announced that it will adopt a business plan that will focus more on multiplatform titles. The plan will take effect this year and will end on March 31, 2027.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth details:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake project, which retells the story of the iconic fantasy game that redefined the RPG genre in three distinct games.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth picks up with iconic heroes Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith and Red XIII after they escape from the dystopian city Midgar and sees them embark on a journey in pursuit of Sephiroth, the vengeful swordsman from Cloud’s past who was thought to be dead.
In this standalone adventure, players will explore an expansive world, all brought to life with a new level of graphical fidelity, developed specifically to leverage the power of the PlayStation 5 console.
As players unravel a gripping narrative rich with mysteries to uncover, they will also witness the personal journey of each party member and strengthen their bonds to work together and face off against powerful enemies.
