In case you didn’t know, a demo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is now available for the PS5. Not only that, but when it was revealed, Square Enix mentioned how they were updating the demo to showcase even more of the RPG. That FF7 Rebirth demo update on Feb. 21, won’t just include new content, but it will even feature graphical enhancements too.
This was announced by the official Final Fantasy VII Twitter/X account:
【お知らせ】

Aside from the date, Square Enix confirmed that players will see “Improvement of image quality when selecting “Performance” in the screen mode of graphics settings” and that this will also be available in the final version of the game.
This is definitely good news for graphics aficionados bothered by what they’ve seen so far in the demo.
What New Content Will Be Added to the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo After the Feb. 21 Update?
Thankfully, we don’t have to guess, as Square Enix already announced that players will see a new playable section titled “Dawn of a New Era in Junon.” This special preview made specifically for the demo, will let players explore a small part of the in-game world around the harbor town of Junon. This area featured in the demo has been altered to make the content more compact and players will be able to experience new synergy attacks, and new forms of exploration. For those wondering, no, progress will not carry over to the final game.
If you’re planning on picking up Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, best to clear some disk space, as it’s set to drop as a whopping 145GB download.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will officially launch on February 29, exclusively for the PS5.
I’ve never heard of a demo getting updated with new content, but im not surprised.
Indeed. Such a good thing to do as well.
