The PC version of the game boasts superior visuals and stability compared to its PS5 counterpart, sparking community discussions about the need for a PS5 update. The PS5 version, particularly in performance mode, suffers from blurry graphics, leaving base console owners awaiting patches. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the considerable player demand for visual improvements on PS5, stating that such enhancements are feasible within the console's technical limitations.
"Following the PC version's promotional release, we've seen numerous requests for a similar PS5 update. We intend to explore this possibility, working within the performance constraints of the PS5 version," Hamaguchi commented.
Fans eagerly anticipate Square Enix's response to these requests. While the team is fully engaged in developing 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 its global recognition and award wins. The third installment presents unique challenges as the developers strive to expand the game's fanbase. Interestingly, Hamaguchi also notes his interest in Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing support for the Rockstar Games team and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following the phenomenal success of GTA V.
