- The Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PS5 quality mode reaches 2160p, while the FPS mode drops to 1620p. PS4 at 1080p and PS4 Pro at 1620p.
- I have not detected any framerate problem. The game runs at 2160p/30fps or 1620p/60fps with no issues.
- There is a substantial improvement in global illumination, although some points of light still do not cast shadow on the character.
- FOG has been added on PS5.
- Numerous textures have been fixed and improved on PS5. I suspect these are the original textures, but they had to be trimmed on the PS4 versions.
- The shadows have undergone slight changes.
- Substantial improvement in loading times. We went from 40 seconds to 2 seconds on PS5.
- Pop-in has been considerably reduced, giving greater stability to the visual set.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is now available on PlayStation 5 worldwide. The INTERmission DLC is also available for purchase right now for those upgrading from the PlayStation 4 version.
