Final Fantasy VII Rebirth delivered the series’ biggest single-player launch

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth has landed on PC with a bang, achieving the highest concurrent player count for a single-player Final Fantasy title on Steam.

With a peak concurrent player count of 40,564 players, according to SteamDB, Rebirth has surpassed even Final Fantasy XVI's PC debut, which saw 27,508 concurrent players at its peak. This figure marks a significant leap from the original Final Fantasy VII Remake, which peaked at a more modest 13,803 players on Steam.

This success story raises an interesting question: Could Rebirth's strong PC performance convince Square Enix to continue promoting its new multiplatform-focused approach for future titles? With PC gaming growing faster than console gaming, this seems logical.

It should be noted, however, that Rebirth's figures do not earn it the achievement of having the most concurrent users of any Final Fantasy game ever. Its peak pales in contrast to that of the long-running MMO Final Fantasy 14 Online, which peaked at more than 95,150 following the release of its Endwalker expansion.
