Ultimate Fantasy 7 gamers have clearly been keen to search 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 Ultimate 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 may be completely different going ahead throughout its ending, there have been lots 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, people who need to know and do not personal a PS5 (or have simply been holding off) have flocked to search out out. Earlier right now, Ultimate 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, Ultimate 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 effectively in comparison with Rebirth, one notably being that it had been launched on the Epic Video games Retailer half a yr prior, so there may need been PC gamers who had already picked it up there. The opposite motive may be that the Steam Deck had solely been launched that yr, so there’s at all times the possibility that lots of gamers have picked up Rebirth as a result of there are extra that personal a Steam Deck three years down the street.
This can clearly be excellent news for Sq. Enix, on condition that final yr it realised it actually must take a multiplatform method if it really desires to make any cash as of late, and primarily based on some feedback from final month, we are able to most likely anticipate the third and closing half to return out on different platforms too.
