Square Enix released an unexpected patch for Final Fantasy VII Remake on PC and PS5. Update 1.005 was released on February 18 without prior announcements. There are no new story missions, but a fresh bonus has appeared in the game.
Several items have been added – Revival Earrings and Survival Set. They can be picked up for free in the main menu via the Gift Box option. There are no other changes: the mechanics and balance have not been touched.
On PS5, the patch is designated as version 1.005, on PC – 1.007. The decision seems unexpected, given that the development of the story continues in Final Fantasy VII Remake, and the third part of the trilogy is already in production.
Rebirth owners are waiting for the «Streamlined Progression» mode, which will be released on PS5 and PC after the June release on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox. It will allow you to save full character stats and constantly deal maximum damage – a variant for those who want to focus on the story.
FF7 Remake is completing its journey as a standalone game, but Square Enix continues to add small surprises.
