FINAL FANTASY VII Updated Version Now Available on Steam and GOG

A Legend Comes to Modern PC

Square Enix's iconic FINAL FANTASY VII has returned in an updated version now available on Steam. Simultaneously, a DRM-free version has launched on GOG, making the 1997 classic more accessible than ever to modern PC players.

DRM-Free on GOG

The GOG release is particularly notable — the platform is known for its commitment to DRM-free gaming, allowing players to truly own their games without relying on online authentication. In an era where game preservation is a growing concern (fueled in part by the Stop Killing Games campaign), a DRM-free release of such a beloved classic carries significant weight.

The Steam version comes with compatibility updates to ensure smooth performance on modern hardware, while retaining the essence of the original experience.

The Legacy of FINAL FANTASY VII

Originally released in 1997, FINAL FANTASY VII revolutionized the RPG genre with its cinematic storytelling, complex characters like Cloud Strife and Sephiroth, and the unforgettable dystopian world of Midgar. The game's influence is still felt today, not least through the ongoing FINAL FANTASY VII Remake series. Having the original available in a modern, polished form is a genuine gift for fans old and new.
