Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's upcoming release on PS5 has sparked a noteworthy 70% increase in players for FFVII Remake on both PS5 and PS4, according to exclusive gameplay data from 3.2 million active PSN accounts. The surge, observed between December 3, 2023, and January 14, 2024, indicates a growing interest in the Remake Trilogy.
The December 2023 PS Store discounts and improved accessibility through PS Plus Extra played crucial roles in rejuvenating FFVII Remake's popularity. Despite returning to its regular price, the game sustained its player growth, hinting at heightened anticipation for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, scheduled to launch on February 29, 2024.
Interestingly, the player spike in FFVII Remake contrasts with Crisis Core Reunion, which, despite a January 2024 discount, experienced no comparable uptick. This difference suggests unique factors, such as PS Plus Extra, contributing to FFVII Remake's pre-launch hype.
