Square Enix reminded us this weekthatFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis almost here, releasing on Jul 27, 2025, as if any of us really needed to be reminded. If you’ve still not played Remake, or you were planning on replaying it to refresh your memories in time for Rebirth’s launch, I’d start now. Good news for those of you who don’t already own the first game in the remake trilogy, you’re able to basically get Remake for free by simply pre-ordering your copy of Rebirth.
Getting a free copy of Remake is simple, but it isn’t being flaunted byPlayStation, hence why you might not be aware of the deal available. It’s not a case of ‘Hey, pre-order Rebirth and get Remake for free’. It’s a case of opting for the Remake/Rebirth Twin Pack rather than pre-ordering Rebirth and buying Remake separately. The Twin Pack is $69.99, the same price as a Rebirth pre-order, which means you may as well grab the two-pack and get Remake for free.
Even if you already own a copy of Remake - a physical one - and you’ve not pre-ordered Rebirth yet, grab the Twin Pack and you’re able to trade in your physical copy of Remake. It’ll be in demand right now since people will be buying it ahead of Rebirth’s arrival. Or, if you can’t be bothered with the hassle of going somewhere to trade it in, give it to a friend or family member who hasn’t played it. Get as many people ready for Rebirth as possible.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake And Rebirth Twin Pack
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launches on July 04, 2025, and will build on the first part of the story told in Remake. PlayStation is now selling Remake and Rebirth together as a twin pack so you can be fully caught up on the story so far ahead of the third and final part of the trilogy.
The version of Remake that comes with the Twin Pack is the Inergrade one too, meaning it has upgradedPS5visuals and includes the Yuffie DLC. Worth playing through if you haven’t already as Yuffie will have a key role to play in Rebirth. Beyond that, despite this being part of a remade game from the late ’90s, we don’t know much else about what’s going to happen. The timelines are twisted and, like Remake, the experience will be very different from the one in the original game.
All we really want to know is who do we need to be prepared to lose in Rebirth. Someone is going to die and despite the seemingly split timeline, once they’re gone, I get the feeling they’ll be gone for good. Spoiler alert for a 25-year-old game, but in the original version, Aerith is the one who dies. That might happen again, but Square is teasing that it might be someone else, and you know darn well the studio knows exactly what it’s doing.
