Summary
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill be over 145GB in size, a reliable leaker has said. The same source also reported thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill be getting a playable demo ahead of its release, in addition to sharing some more info about that trial version of the RPG.
The second entry in theFinal Fantasy 7remake trilogy is scheduled to hit the PlayStation 5 on February 29. Square Enix’s efforts to market the game have hence been ramping up in recent weeks, with the Japanese gaming giant already treating fans to a bunch ofhigh-resFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthscreenshotsand a new trailer since the turn of the year.
Despite that ongoing influx of information, one detail about the game that Square Enix has yet to officially disclose is its download size. But Twitter user PlayStationSize has just beat it to the punch, having revealed thatFF7Rebirthwill weigh 145.25GB. That figure suggests the game will be nearlytwice as big asFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, whose installation size was also leaked by this very same user ahead of the game’s 2021 launch.
According to a recent update to the game’s PlayStation Store page that has since been reverted,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill become available to preload on February 27, two days ahead of its debut. The 48-hour window should provide most fans with enough time to download the JRPG in advance so that they are able to play it from the moment it drops. That notwithstanding, this humongous download size establishesFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthas one of the top tenbiggest PS5 games ever released.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Is Reportedly on the Horizon
In a separate tweet, PlayStationSize reported thatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill also get treated to a demo closer to its release. Beating the trial version of the RPG will allegedly unlock the Kupo Charm Survival Set in the full game, as per the same source. This particular leak was shared in response to Sony’s announcement ofthe second PlayStation State of Play for 2024, with the implication being that the demo will debut following the broadcast. The upcoming stream is scheduled to take place on February 6, at 6:30pm ET.
The notion of aFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthdemo being on the horizon seems well within the realm of possibility. After all, the lastFinal Fantasy 16-focused State of Play broadcast also concluded with the unexpected launch of that game’s playable demo back in 2023. And while demos are less prevalent today than in past decades, Square Enix itself is still fairly consistent at producing them for its AAA games.
