Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will Be The First PS5 Game To Launch On Two Disks
A new gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has confirmed that the game will launch in Early 2024 and be the first PS5 game to require two disks.
As we all suspected from Square Enix's not-so-subtle teases on Twitter, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth showed up at tonight's Summer Game Fest showcase, closing out the event with a new gameplay trailer. We saw lots of new gameplay footage that confirmed an open-world, Red XIII as a playable party member, and more, but the biggest bit of news was that the game is going to require two disks.

As the trailer closed, a message popped up that read "Early 2024, on 2 disks", making Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth the first game on the PS5 with that requirement. This seems to suggest that the game is going to be substantially larger than anything we've seen on the console so far, which is remarkable considering how relatively early we are into the console's lifecycle. Even Final Fantasy 16 doesn't need that much!
Although it was great to see Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth after nearly a year of silence from Square Enix, we can't pretend that it was much of a surprise. Last week, the official Final Fantasy Twitter account confirmed that development on the game was progressing smoothly and that a release date was still being nailed down. The next update, posted a day later, basically confirmed that the game would feature an overworld, something that fans have been wondering about ever since Remake first released.
The rest of the updates since then haven't given us much to go on beyond confirming that there will be new party members, but the one that was shared today said that we should expect more information "soon".
