Once the download has started, you'll be able to start playing the game once about 10GB of data has been downloaded to your machine. This is reflected in the game's file size, too, with the download for Final Fantasy 7 Remake weighing in at a whopping 90.66GB. We reached out to Square Enix representatives to see if we could get more of a sense of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s size, and why two discs are still the norm.Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake is a big game.Įven thought the game is simply the first 'chapter' of Final Fantasy 7 (covering the start of the game through to the part where the crew leaves Midgar), the experience is pretty hefty and will take a decent amount of time to beat. But it does mean that PlayStation 5 fans with unexpanded storage will have to budget their space wisely once Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth arrives in early 2024. That’s about half of Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s regularly dwarfed by annual sports titles (to say nothing of Call of Duty’s indulgent sizes). Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade was 81 GB when that launched in 2021. This doesn’t necessarily portend a completely ridiculous download size for those no longer interested in collecting game cases.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was two discs when it launched on PlayStation 4 in 2020, and of course the original Final Fantasy 7 was a three-discer back in 1997. In fact, Square Enix seemed almost proud that the multi-disc tradition would carry on with Rebirth (calling that out in the final title card).

(It doesn’t appear that Xbox Series X has had any multi-disc games, if you were wondering.) They used to be quite common, but with media capacity ever increasing - and most players shifting to online purchases and downloads of games - they’re now rare enough to remark on. We assume it’s the same because this will seemingly be the first PS5 game on two discs.
