Closing Fantasy 7 gamers have clearly been keen to seek out out what occurs to fan favorite Aerith, as Rebirth sees far more gamers at launch on PC than Remake.
Look, I will not spoil something for anybody that hasn’t performed the unique Closing Fantasy 7 or its remakes, however most of us know what occurs to Aerith, it is just like the Darth Vader “I’m your father” of online game spoilers. So, with Remake implying that issues is likely to be completely different going ahead throughout its ending, there have been a whole lot of questions surrounding whether or not or not she would survive in Rebirth. And it looks like now that the sequel has been launched on PC, those who wish to know and do not personal a PS5 (or have simply been holding off) have flocked to seek out out. Earlier in the present day, Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth hit a concurrent participant depend peak of 39,857 gamers, simply three days after it launched on the platform (through SteamDB).
For comparability, Closing Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade launched on Steam again in 2022, and solely had a peak of 13,803 gamers. There’s a few causes as to why the sport did not do all that nicely in comparison with Rebirth, one notably being that it had been launched on the Epic Video games Retailer half a yr prior, so there might need been PC gamers who had already picked it up there. The opposite purpose is likely to be that the Steam Deck had solely been launched that yr, so there’s all the time the prospect that a whole lot of gamers have picked up Rebirth as a result of there are extra that personal a Steam Deck three years down the highway.
It will clearly be excellent news for Sq. Enix, provided that final yr it realised it actually must take a multiplatform strategy if it truly desires to make any cash nowadays, and based mostly on some feedback from final month, we will most likely count on the third and ultimate half to return out on different platforms too.
