On PS5 and Xbox, Revelation’s Disc Is Only a Starting Point
Final Fantasy VII Remake's physical release will only include the game's opening on disc, with the rest requiring a substantial download for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X players. Director Naoki Hamaguchi expressed a desire for more complete physical releases but acknowledged limitations in his authority over product strategy. This approach reflects a broader industry trend away from full physical game discs, with Sony planning to cease PlayStation disc production in 2028.
