The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, sparking community discussion regarding the need for a PS5 update. The PS5 version currently suffers from blurry visuals in performance mode, leaving base console owners awaiting patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the numerous requests for a PS5 visual upgrade, stating that such improvements are feasible within the PS5's technical constraints.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've received many requests for a similar PS5 update. We intend to explore this possibility, working within the performance limitations of the PS5 version."
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests and potential console visual enhancements.
While the team focuses on the sequel, Hamaguchi requests patience, promising further details at a later date. He highlights 2024 as a successful year for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the trilogy, citing global recognition and award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers aim for expanded fan engagement. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also notes his interest in Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure stemming from GTA V's phenomenal success.
