Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has become the highest-rated entry in the series in a long time, but the game's critical success hasn't translated into the commercial results that Square Enix had hoped for. According to Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is significantly lagging behind in sales compared to the first part of the remake.

He claims that Rebirth is selling roughly half as well as Final Fantasy VII Remake did during the same period after launch, and he believes that in the long term, the game is unlikely to achieve the same results as its predecessor. Ahmad's data also suggests that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is selling notably worse than Final Fantasy XVI, despite the significant growth in the PlayStation 5 audience since the summer of 2023.

The original Final Fantasy VII Remake started with sales of 3.5 million copies in three days, while Final Fantasy XVI sold 3 million copies in its first week. In February, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth debuted at number two in sales in the US, following Helldivers 2. It also ranked second in the PlayStation Store charts in North America and Europe.

Despite a massive advertising campaign, the game only found 262,000 buyers in the Japanese retail market at launch, trailing behind last year's Final Fantasy XVI with 336,000 copies sold and Final Fantasy VII Remake with 702,000 copies sold. Square Enix has not officially disclosed international sales figures for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth over the past one and a half months.
