One of the burning questions among most Final Fantasy fans is whether Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is coming on PS4 or not. Serving as the sequel to Final Fantasy Remake and the second game in the three-part saga, Rebirth is all set to launch in the winter of 2023.
In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about if Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be out on PS4 or not.
Is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth On PS4?
Unfortunately, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth won't be getting released on PS4 as Square Enix has confirmed that the sequel will be a PS5 exclusive.
Delving more into why Final Fantasy 7 won't be on PS4, series producer Yoshinori Kitase while talking with the Japanese publication Gamer (translated by Gematsu) said, "it's exclusive to PlayStation 5 because of the graphical quality, of course, as well as SSD access speed."
Therefore, anyone who wants to experience the sequel will need to own a PS5 as the devs have no plans of launching the game on the previous generation console.
Yoshinori also added, "since the adventure unfolds in a vast world after the escape from Midgar, loading stress is an extreme bottleneck. We felt we needed the specifications of PlayStation 5 to overcome that and travel the world comfortably."
Thanks to the super-fast SSD on the PS5, loading screens have almost been erased, allowing for a more seamless experience. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth could surely use the additional horsepower of the PS5 along with all the technical enhancements.
