Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was a major hit last year on PS5, and it's continuing that trend with its PC ♋port, as one analyst concludes the JRPG "had a fantastic Steam launch" last month.
Circana games industry analyst some info from Circana's own retail tracking service on Bluesky, and says that, across both physical and tracked digital game purchases, "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was the best-selling game of the week ending Jan 25 in the US market ($ sales), while the FF7 Remake and Rebirth Twin Pack ranked third."
