We are just one day away from the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and we can’t wait to see where Cloud’s adventure takes him in the sequel. The game is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious sequels in the franchise, breaking free from the constraints of the first game by adopting an open-world approach. With so much to do in Rebirth, you might want to put some thought into what version of the game you’re buying, because you may be missing out on some sweet bonuses depending on where you get it.
Before you decide to buy the game, make sure to check out the FF7 Rebirth demo, which covers both the opening chapter and the open-ended Junon region from the game. Done? Okay, now here is everything you need to know about pre-ordering Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for PS5
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Digital Pre-Orders
Square Enix
If you want to buy the game on the PlayStation Store and not bother with waiting for a physical copy, you can choose from the following options:
FF7 Rebirth Standard Edition - $69.99
FF7 Rebirth Digital Deluxe Edition - $89.99
The Digital Deluxe Edition of the game includes a mini-soundtrack, a digital art book, the Magic Pot summoning Materia, the Reclaimant Choker, and the Orchid Bracelet accessories, along with the full game.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Physical Pre-Orders
Square Enix
If you want to physically own the game, then you’re in for luck with the following options:
FF7 Rebirth PS5 Standard Edition - $69.99
FF7 Rebirth Deluxe Edition - $99.99
The Standard Edition of the game may include a bonus goodie depending on where you buy it from. Amazon will include an exclusive FF7-themed DualSense controller skin, GameStop has a cool hat, and Best Buy includes a steelbook case.
The Deluxe Edition offers more value by including physical goodies such as reversible cover art, an exclusive steelbook case, a mini-soundtrack CD, and a hardback artbook. Regardless of what edition you pre-order, you’ll get the Midgar Bangle accessory as a bonus.

If you don’t want to miss out on anything that Square Enix is offering, then the best course of action would be to order the physical Deluxe Edition. The publisher is offering an upgrade path to get the Digital Deluxe Edition content for owners of the game’s physical copy. You may have to wait a while though, as the upgrade will go live after the game’s release. However, if you do choose to go with this option, then you’ll end up with both physical and digital versions of the goodies.
FF7 Rebirth Twin Pack
Here’s the thing that most people will probably miss - you can get 2020’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake for free with a pre-order of the sequel. The process requires choosing a specific edition of the game on the PlayStation Store, and the offer is only valid there. Here are the prices of the Twin Pack offerings, which remain the same as the prices of the base game.
FF7 Rebirth Twin Pack - $69.99
FF7 Rebirth Digital Deluxe Twin Pack - $89.99
The Twin Pack is aimed at new players who are just now getting into the franchise. It’s an excellent value, that offers nearly 200 hours of content if you complete everything. If you fall into that camp, then we recommend sticking with the Twin Pack and not bothering with the other editions.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Collector’s Edition
Square Enix
Enough about trying to save money, here’s the expensive one! The FF7 Rebirth Collector’s Edition includes all the goodies from the Deluxe Edition, along with a very impressive 19-inch static arts Sephiroth statue. It's priced at $349.99, so you're paying almost $250 extra for the statue.
The only issue? It’s exclusive to the Square Enix store, and as you’d expect, completely out of stock at the moment.
