Mat Piscatella, an analyst from the market research firm Circana (formerly NPD), disclosed that the PC version of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth has seen impressive sales on Steam, becoming the top-selling game in the United States for the week it launched. Additionally, the Remake & Rebirth bundle for PC also performed well, ranking third in sales.
While Circana’s sales data may not be official figures from Square Enix, they hold significance as the Rebirth installment faced criticism for falling short of sales targets (even though Square Enix did not release official numbers). If the PC release continues to sell strongly, it could align with Square Enix’s new strategy of moving away from exclusive console titles.
