When Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth made its entry into the PC world, it brought significant traction, achieving a peak player count of approximately 40,000 on Steam. This number is impressive, marking it as the highest in the series aside from the MMO entry.

The game even surpassed Final Fantasy 16, which obtained a peak of 27,508 players. In comparison to its predecessor, the 2020 remake of Final Fantasy 7 had only managed 13,803 players. The enthusiasm surrounding Rebirth raises questions about whether this success will prompt Square Enix to further its multiplatform strategy within the gaming industry.

Many fans speculate that the high playership might also be influenced by a desire for modding opportunities much typical for the series. The game seems to be performing well enough that it could indicate a bright future for Final Fantasy titles on PC.
