Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launched for PC last week, and contrary to its underperformance on PS5, the action RPG seems to have got off to a solid start with its new audience.
Over the weekend, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth saw a peak of 40,564 concurrent players on Steam, as per SteamDB. That’s significantly higher than the player numbers that both Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (13,804 peak concurrent players) and Final Fantasy 16 (27,508) enjoyed upon their respective PC releases. In fact, the only Final Fantasy game to have seen a higher concurrent player count on the platform than Rebirth is the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 (95,150).
How does it compare against other recent major RPG releases? There isn’t much of a gap there. Persona 3 Reload sits at a peak of 45,002 concurrent players, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at 46,161. Unlike those two, however, this is a year-late port.
In our review of the recently-released PC version, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is still the same game roughly one year later, but the PC version fulfils the promise of improved fidelity.” Read the full review through here, and read our technical analysis of the port here.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available on PS5 and PC. Leaks have claimed it’s also in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S.
