Get ready for a thrilling adventure with a twist! Square Enix drops a bombshell with a controversial announcement: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is getting a cheat-enabled version for PS5! But wait, there's more to this exciting revelation.
The highly anticipated game, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, is coming to Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, and with it, a set of intriguing 'Streamlined Progression' settings. These features are not entirely new, as they were previously introduced in the port of Final Fantasy 7 Remake to other systems. However, there's an exciting addition that might spark some debate: the ability to deal 9,999 damage in minigames.
Here's a breakdown of the 'Streamlined Progression' options, which will be available for PS5 players when the other versions launch on June 3rd, 2026:
- Max HP and MP all the time: Never worry about running out of health or magic points again!
- Limit Gauge and ATB Gauge always full: Unleash powerful abilities without waiting.
- Constant Max Synergy, Damage, and Gil: Dominate battles and shop till you drop.
- 2x EXP and 3x AP Gain: Level up and learn abilities at a rapid pace.
- Easy Weapon Ability Acquisition and More Materials Collected: Gear up effortlessly and craft like a pro.
- Constant Max Recovery Items and Max Materia Levels: Stay prepared and powerful throughout your journey.
And here's where it gets even more enticing: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has received a permanent price drop to £49.99 / $49.99 on the PS Store, matching the cost of the ports. But the real question is, will this cheat-friendly update make it too easy to obtain the Platinum Trophy? Is this a dream come true for casual gamers, or a controversial move that dilutes the sense of achievement?
