The critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has received an unexpected update to address lingering issues with the DualSense wireless controller’s vibration functionality on PlayStation 5. This latest patch, version 1.003, comes shortly after a series of updates primarily focused on enhancing compatibility with the new PS5 Pro console. Square Enix has stated that this minor update specifically targets and resolves problems related to the controller’s vibration feature, although the precise cause of the issue remains undisclosed.
DualSense Vibration Fix Impacts Both Rebirth and Remake
Interestingly, this DualSense controller vibration issue wasn’t exclusive to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Square Enix also released a concurrent patch for Final Fantasy VII Remake, addressing the same problem on both the PS5 and PC versions of the game. This suggests a shared underlying cause across both titles.
Limited Future Updates Expected for Rebirth
Looking ahead, this may be one of the final updates Final Fantasy VII Rebirth receives. Square Enix has already confirmed that no DLC is planned for the game, suggesting that further updates might be minimal or cease entirely in the near future.
PC Release on the Horizon
While future updates seem unlikely, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is slated for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on January 23rd. A 30% pre-order discount is currently available for those eager to experience the game on PC. This PC port marks an exciting development for fans who prefer playing on the platform.
Addressing a Minor, Yet Important Issue
Although seemingly minor, the resolution of the DualSense controller vibration issue enhances the overall player experience, ensuring full functionality and immersion. This attention to detail underscores Square Enix’s commitment to refining and optimizing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for its player base.
