With the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch day finally here, Google is doing its bit to get you in the mood for the PS5 exclusive. If you Google ‘Chocobo’ right now, you’ll be met with a very kweh-ntertaining easter egg in the form of a button that will spawn as many of the iconic birds as you desire. You might even see Cloud make an appearance.
When you initially punch ‘Chocobo’ into the search engine, you’ll be met with the standard results page – a few snaps of the PS5 exclusive’s brilliantly-colored bird, a wiki page, and the other usual gubbins. However, you’ll also notice a golden icon spawn with a familiar silhouette emblazoned on it.
Pressing the button will cause a randomized number of Chocobos of various colors to maraud across the screen. There’s also a chance for Cloud to appear, leading the charge atop his own golden steed… bird. It’s an adorable tribute to not only one of the best new PS5 games around but one of the best games we’ve seen from 2024 so far.

As a dedicated speedrunner who loves uncovering secrets and glitches in games, I admire Google’s attention to detail in celebrating the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth with the Chocobo easter egg. It’s a delightful nod to the series that engages fans in the excitement of the game’s release.
While I haven’t tried the Chocobo button myself, the idea of summoning colorful birds with a simple search is intriguing. Discovering hidden gems like this is always a thrill in gaming.
One memorable easter egg for me is in Super Mario 64, where collecting all 120 stars reveals a message from the development team when looking up at the sun in the courtyard. It’s moments like these that showcase the care developers put into creating unforgettable experiences for players.
