FF7 Revelation trailer sends players back to Remake and Rebirth as Steam numbers spike

The Final Fantasy 7 Revelation trailer at Summer Game Fest did exactly what Square Enix needed it to do — players are rushing back to Remake and Rebirth to catch up before the trilogy's finale.

Square Enix timed a Steam Final Fantasy franchise sale to coincide with the reveal, and the combination paid off. Remake dropped to £12.24 and Rebirth to £15.99, and the discounts drove Remake past 10,000 concurrent players on Steam over the past weekend. Rebirth peaked at 6,751 — solid numbers for games that launched on Steam in 2022 and 2025 respectively. Steam is only part of the picture, too: both games recently launched on Switch 2 and Xbox, adding more players to the count across those platforms.

Revelation is the final chapter of the FF7 remake trilogy, and the trailer made the scale clear — a massive open world, the full party assembled, refined combat, and a story building to a showdown with Sephiroth as a meteor looms over the planet. Square Enix followed the reveal with a broad media tour that kept the hype cycle going. The game is confirmed for PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2 simultaneously.

The marketing push is clearly working. Players want to replay Remake and Rebirth before the finale lands, and the well-timed discounts gave them an easy reason to jump back in.
