According to the patch notes for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth available on SquareEnix’s official website, here’s everything new in Update 1.040.

  • Fixed various bugs that would sometimes prevent game progress
  • Fixed a bug that prevented some players from meeting the photo frame requirements even after fulfilling conditions
  • Fixed various bugs that can occur during battles
  • Fixed a small bug that occurred in Gears and Gambits Stage 2 on Hard where the information would not show on the screen
  • Fixed several display-related bugs
  • Improved overall game stability

Back in April, Square Enix addressed several major game-breaking issues from patch 1.030 that prevented certain players from completing a very difficult quest. This comes at a difficult time, too, as the company revealed back in May that FF7 Rebirth and other games failed to meet sales expectations. We now also know that the final act of FF7 will launch on all platforms simultaneously.
