I played FF7R on PC and there's a few notes you should be aware of. It's a pretty lackluster PC port. The available graphics settings are minimal, so there's really not much to crank up in terms of visual fidelity unfortunately. The framerate has locked options of 30, 60, or 120.

And most importantly, there's a TERRIBLE micro-stutter like every minute of gameplay. Apparently this was caused by bad DX12 optimization, which SE defaults the game to DX12 and never bothered fixing it to this day. Their last update was May 2023 where they added DualSense support lol. The workaround is dropping it to DX11 by going to the games properties in your Steam library and under the General tab, adding -dx11 to the Launch Options.

Honestly, FF7R was a game that was clearly focused on having console prioritization. Console is where you'll get the best experience for this game. Hopefully FF7 Rebirth will be more optimized on PC. Which, the console exclusivity this time around is only 3 months. 

Yeah, I also saw somebody made a mod to fix those DX12 stuttering issues and adds in customizeable graphics settings:

Modders doing Square's work for them, lmao.

Oh nice! I'm surprised this isn't the most downloaded mod! 

Wow, there's actually several available mods that directly address the stuttering

Modders are always available to save the day! Lmao, there's some thirst trap mods in there!
