FF7 Rebirth is already out on PS5 (and has been for almost a year now). PC players have been kept waiting but will be able to play via Steam or Epic Games.

As part of the launch, FF7 Rebirth is on special: both Steam and Epic Games has the game discounted by 30% to $48.99 USD. These specials won't last, so if you're eager to get going on day one, it's best to pick up the game at its discounted price. After the special expires, FF7 Rebirth will set you back $69.99.

There is a preorder bonus if you buy before launch, with both Steam and Epic preorders granting players two pieces of armor (Midgar Bangle Mk. II and Shinra Bangle Mk. II) and the Moogle Trio Summoning Materia.
