Step-by-Step Guide to Adjusting Resolution in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC

Following its initial launch on PS5, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has finally made its way to PC, much to the delight of fans. This PC version, built on the Unreal Engine, showcases significant technical improvements compared to its console counterpart. Not only is it more stable, but it also offers a variety of settings for users to customize their gaming experience. However, players may encounter some confusion regarding the graphics settings, particularly when attempting to change the resolution. This article will guide you through the process of adjusting your resolution in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for PC.

How to Change the Resolution in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for PC

Within the game’s display options, you will find two primary modes: “Windowed”and “Borderless Full Screen.”Unfortunately, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth does not allow players to modify the resolution while in “Borderless Full Screen”mode. The game defaults to the desktop resolution or may even select an incorrect one.

Start by navigating to the “Graphics” section within the settings menu.
The first option you encounter will enable you to switch the display mode.
Select “Windowed” mode and choose your desired resolution from the available options.

After adjusting the resolution settings, you can switch back to “Borderless Full Screen” mode, and the game should now reflect the correct resolution. Although it’s puzzling why this limitation exists in the Borderless Full Screen mode, we hope a future patch will address the issue.

Aside from resolution adjustments, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth offers an extensive array of customizable graphics settings, which include:

Players are encouraged to review the system requirements to understand their system’s capabilities. Furthermore, though the game is verified for Steam Deck, it is recommended to approach this option with caution, as the visual quality and frame rate can be significantly compromised.
