An old Final Fantasy VII PC bookmark still opens a recognizable Steam page. That does not mean it still sells the game. As checked on November 11, 2026, app 39140 carries a notice that this version is no longer available on the Steam store.
There is also a current, upgraded release of the original Final Fantasy VII. The useful distinction is between that game, its older PC listing, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Those names describe different purchases and different points in the journey. This guide compares those PC pages, without story-ending spoilers or a claim about when the older listing was withdrawn.

A surviving page is not a purchase button
The original listing remains useful as an edition reference. Its description follows Cloud and AVALANCHE's conflict with Shinra, and its PC features include achievements and a character booster. It also states a Square Enix account requirement. Those details identify a particular release; they do not cancel the delisting notice above them.
For a new purchase, start by looking for a currently available product and its exact contents. An older search result, wishlist entry or guide link can point to a page that still contains years of descriptive text. Read the current sale status before planning around it.
The original adventure has a current PC release
App 3837340 is the current upgraded version of the original game, with no changes or additions to its story. The listed extras include autosave, a battle enhancement mode, and a speed option for battles, travel and select events. Random encounters can be switched off, but required story battles still have to be completed.
Choose this release when you want the original adventure with those conveniences. It is separate from Remake and Rebirth, which reimagine the story across a multipart project. The same franchise name is doing several different jobs on the store.
Square Enix's re-release announcement says owners of the 2013 Edition receive the upgraded version at no additional cost, with both versions remaining accessible in their Steam library. It also states that saves are not compatible between the two versions. Check which edition you installed before expecting an existing save to load.
Intergrade gives you the Midgar story and Yuffie's episode
The linked Steam package contains the Remake main game and FF7R EPISODE INTERmission. Remake is the first title in the multipart project, covering the original story through the escape from Midgar while adding new elements. Intergrade does not mean the entire remake trilogy is folded into that one download.
The distinction changes the buying decision. Choose this starting point when you want to follow the remake project's version of Cloud's arrival in Midgar. Its mix of direct action and command decisions is also a different combat proposition from choosing an older release for its original presentation.
INTERmission has its own focus: Yuffie infiltrates Midgar in pursuit of Shinra's ultimate materia. That is a specific additional adventure included in this PC product, rather than a vague promise that every Final Fantasy VII story comes with the name Intergrade.
Rebirth continues beyond the city
Square Enix identifies Rebirth as the second game in the remake trilogy. Its journey begins beyond Midgar, with Cloud and his companions entering a wider world. Chocobo travel across open areas is one of the activities described by the publisher.
Our recommendation is to begin the remake project's narrative with Remake, then move to Rebirth when you want to continue that version of the story. The fact that Rebirth has its own separate game page is not a reason to assume its opening explains every relationship from scratch. It is also not an instruction to buy both games immediately. Decide whether the first one's combat and storytelling appeal to you before committing to another long adventure.
Save bonuses have specific conditions
The Rebirth Steam listing describes Leviathan summoning materia for qualifying Remake main-story save data and Ramuh summoning materia for qualifying INTERmission data. It says the relevant saves must be present on the same PC used to play Rebirth, with the same account used for Intergrade and Rebirth.
Those are conditions for the listed bonuses. They are worth checking before expecting the items to appear. Do not read a bonus description as a general promise that every item, level or choice from an earlier game transfers. Follow the actual claim on the product page.
Check the package and the PC together
Rebirth has a standalone product and a Digital Deluxe Edition. The publisher warns about duplicate purchases because the base game also appears in bundles. Read the contents of the exact option in your cart, especially if you already own one of the games.
Then compare the system requirements with the computer you will use. The Rebirth page specifically requires an SSD and lists graphics feature requirements. A familiar franchise logo does not establish that your PC meets them. We have not tested performance on your hardware, and an archival screenshot cannot answer that question.
Keep the physical edition decision separate
For collectors, Zypher lists Final Fantasy VII for PlayStation 1. That is a separate physical console release, not a PC key or a copy of Intergrade. Check the listing's included discs, condition and regional details before ordering. You can also sell your old games through Zypher's general Buy List.
