Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is launching on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S in a little over a week on June 3, and the second entry in the series is already set to break a record on the Nintendo current-generation system in terms of file size, making games like Cyberpunk 2077 Special Edition feel like very small games in comparison. According to new information found on the game's Japanese My Nintendo Store page, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be 102 GB big. Although the final file size may differ, as the official European Nintendo website shows a 91.5 GB […]

Earlier today, a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo was released on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, allowing users to try out the first two chapters and carry over progress to the full game when it launches on June 3. Early footage of the Switch 2 port looked promising, but a more in-depth look reveals that the game's ambition may be, at times, too much for the system, as it struggles to maintain a steady 30 FPS framerate in certain scenarios despite visual cutbacks. A new comparison video shared on YouTube by GVG puts footage from the PlayStation 5 […]

While console's super-resolution technologies still aren't on par with its PC counterparts, Sony is narrowing the gap with the launch of PSSR 2 (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution). Now available to all PS5 Pro owners, this second-generation looks quite the advancement, promising users less shimmering and ghosting and improved visual quality.

While Nvidia is currently iterating on DLSS 4.5 and 5 and AMD is teasing the AI-driven FSR Diamond, Sony's internal solution is now being deployed across twelve titles. This initial wave includes games such as Silent Hill 2 Remake, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

The full list of games can be found below:

• Silent Hill 2 Remake
• Silent Hill f
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard
• Monster Hunter Wilds
• Dragon's Dogma 2
• Crimson Desert
• Rise of the Ronin
• Nioh 3
• Control
• Alan Wake 2
• Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
• Cyberpunk 2077 (upcoming)
• Assassin's Creed Shadows (upcoming)

Digital Foundry has already provided the first deep-dive analysis of the technology, with Oliver Mackenzie noting that the leap from the first iteration to PSSR 2 is substantial, describing it as a “big improvement” that significantly improves the value proposition of the PS5 Pro hardware. While he was careful to mention that PSSR 2 still lacks some of the advanced features found in top-tier PC upscalers, the consensus is that for a living-room experience, the “ghosting” and “shimmering” issues that occasionally plagued early PSSR 1 titles have been drastically reduced.

KitGuru says: PSSR 2 alone might not be enough to justify getting a PS5 Pro, but it sure looks like something worth adding to the list of advantages.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade made its debut on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series consoles in January, and the Switch 2 port in particular has been praised as a solid port that accounts for the system's technical limitations compared to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, delivering the best possible experience. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3, however, achieving a high-quality port is definitely going to be more challenging, but the development team is set to deliver a 30 FPS on the weaker platforms, such as the Switch 2 and Xbox Series S, according to the […]
