Final Fantasy 7 Revelation gets physical edition with download and possibly 200GB install
In brief
- Final Fantasy 7 Revelation may ship on one disc, but part of the game still needs downloading. Another report says it could reach 200GB.
- A second report says the game could be around 200GB, and that director Naoki Hamaguchi thinks the size may be too large for even one or two discs.
- The same source says two post-launch DLC packs are planned, with Vincent Valentine and Sephiroth as the main focus.
What happened
GameRant wrote on 18 September 2026 that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will receive a physical edition, but that release will not include the full game on the disc. According to the report, part of the data will still need to be downloaded after purchase. The source describes the release as a one-disc edition, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PS4 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PS5, which previously launched as two-disc releases.
A separate report from Eurogamer adds a technical estimate: according to that source, game director Naoki Hamaguchi expects Final Fantasy 7 Revelation to come in at around 200GB. The same report says the game may not fit on one disc, or even two discs, because of that expected file size.
Eurogamer also reports that two bonus DLC packs are planned after launch. Those would reportedly center on Vincent Valentine and Sephiroth. The information provided does not say what those packs will include, when they will release, or whether Square Enix has officially confirmed the plans.
Square Enix has not yet provided an official explanation in the source material supplied here regarding the physical edition, the download requirement, or the reported file size. It is also not confirmed whether the packaging, disc count, or download requirement will differ by region or platform.

Background
The available information is mainly about distribution and file size. That means it is still unclear how much data will be on the disc and how much will need to be downloaded. It is also not confirmed whether the physical edition will be the same worldwide or whether regional differences will apply.
The 200GB estimate is presented in the source as an expectation, not a final launch size. The same applies to the DLC plans: the report mentions two packs and a focus on Vincent and Sephiroth, but gives no full content details or release dates.
Because Square Enix has not shared an official product page, press release, or technical FAQ in the supplied sources, these reports should be read as GameRant and Eurogamer coverage rather than final publisher specifications.
