Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PS5 Pro reportedly a “night and day difference”

While the announcement of the long-awaited PlayStation 5 Pro has been somewhat controversial due to its high asking price, it seems as though many of the Pro system’s announced features are in fact the real deal. One of the most discussed PS5  exclusives to suffer from visual issues was Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but according to Digital Foundry, the PS5 Pro version offers a “night and day difference.”

As reported by tech specialist Digital Foundry’s John Linneman via Twitter, “FF7R looks a LOT better on PS5 Pro. Night and day difference. I actually put off playing it due to other things happening at the time of release but the Pro will finally push me to enjoy it. Image quality was just too awful on normal PS5.”

Going into further details on how exactly the game is improved on the Pro, Linneman continued, “FF7R does seem to exhibit superior image quality compared to PS5's regular quality mode while running at 60 fps on the Pro. They seem to be leveraging PSSR which looks a lot better than the generic upscaling they previously used.”

Given the fact that the PS5 Pro has been pitched somewhat as offering a game’s 30fps Quality Mode but at a higher framerate, seeing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth not only look better than the base PS5’s quality mode, but at double the framerate is encouraging to see.

Hopefully we are able to get a more detailed breakdown of the exact enhancements soon.
