It sounds like the Final Fantasy 7 remake games will keep getting bigger. The first game was around 100 GB; Rebirth upped this to about 150 GB, whereas we’ve learned that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation requires roughly 200 GB of free storage space.
You can hear the cries of the hard drive. There’s no doubt that the FF7 remake titles have been mega games, packed with detail, gorgeous graphics, and big worlds to explore. They come at a cost to your console or PC’s storage, though, and Revelation is already delivering a Sephiroth-esque laugh to your storage concerns.
Final Fantasy Revelation Requires Lots of Storage
We’re a few months out from Final Fantasy Revelation, but the hype is building faster than a Limit Break meter during a battle with Emerald or Ruby Weapon.
Trailers from Summer Game Fest and Gamescom 2026 have given us big looks at the game. More recently, we learned Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s release date.

The pieces are coming together, and here’s what iconic Revelation game director Naoki Hamaguchi told VGC:
“In a word, yes. Things are still getting worked out, but it’s [FF7 Revelation] probably going to be around 200GB of game. I understand there are a lot of opinions about this topic, but at the end of the day, the fact is we need to overcome the hardware to a certain extent.
One thing I want to say is, even though the game will not be on the full disc, in the position we’re in, because discs may be dying out, or maybe staying, with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, we definitely wanted to deliver some kind of physical product. That was really important to us. Trust me!”
It’s cool to hear that Final Fantasy Revelation will be on disc at least. Just do a double-check of your storage once the game comes out in 2027!
Here’s the ‘The Planet’s Crisis’ trailer, showing off more of the story beats.
