Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is now available for $29.99 on Steam, which is a 50% drop from its original price of $59.99. March 23rd is shaping up to be a great time for players who hesitated on Square Enix’s extensive PS5-to-PC port. You can find this deal through games.gg’s daily deals tracker, which collects discounts from Steam, Epic, and other platforms.
The game’s timing coincides with a solid, if modest, player community on PC. Currently, there are 2,341 concurrent players, a typical number for a single-player RPG that tends to see more solo play than daily peaks. Given the game’s scale, this figure makes sense.
On Steam, Rebirth boasts an 80% positive rating from 13,660 reviews, classifying it as “Mostly Positive.” This rating is slightly lower than its critical reception on PS5, where it averaged around 92 on Metacritic. The difference likely comes from ongoing performance issues with the PC version, which launched without full DirectX 12 optimization and faced criticism for stuttering on mid-range systems.
At $29.99, it’s hard to argue against the value. Rebirth offers about 40 hours for those focusing on the main storyline and over 100 hours for completionists. This makes it one of the most content-rich options at this price point. The game represents the second act of Square Enix’s three-part remake of Final Fantasy VII, picking up right after 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake.
For players who missed out during the PS5 launch, this is a great chance to catch up before the trilogy’s final entry arrives. Square Enix hasn’t shared a release window for that last installment yet, but based on their history—Remake launched in April 2020 and Rebirth in February 2024—a reveal in 2026 or early 2027 seems likely.

One reviewer on Steam said the game “lands perfectly at an 8.5/10 — an incredibly fun game with loads to do, but my God does it begin to outstay its welcome at the end.” This sentiment reflects a lot of the reviews. Players praise the combat and world design but criticize the pacing in the late game and the overwhelming amount of optional content.
