Will Final Fantasy VII Remake be on Xbox?

It’s been over two years since Final Fantasy VII Remake was released for PlayStation 4. Since then, it’s made its way to PlayStation 5 and PC, even getting an update and receiving an expansion titled Episode Intermission. Xbox owners, on the other hand, didn’t have to settle for anything. But will the famous Final Fantasy VII Remake finally arrive on Xbox platforms?

Will Final Fantasy VII Remake come to Xbox?

Officially neither Square Enix nor Microsoft have commented. Remake de Final Fantasy VII Xbox release. At the same time, however, there is nothing to say that it will not be ported to the platform.

There is speculation among fans that it will not only happen, but will be formally announced this year. Not only did Square Enix introduce new branding for Final Fantasy VII Intergrade (the name of the enhanced re-release), but director Tetsuya Nomura teased new announcements for the 25th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy VII.

It was also noted that Final Fantasy VII Remake is no longer listed on the PlayStation Store as a PlayStation exclusive. Considering it was still there even after its PC port was announced and released, some fans believe this means an Xbox port is on the way.

The fact that Xbox has a big showcase during what would have been the E3 season (had E3 2022 not been cancelled) has only further fueled the flames and convinced some that the port will be announced at that time. If such a port is announced, we expect it to be released later this year.

Releasing Final Fantasy VII Remake for Xbox would make sense for Square Enix. Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S are definitely capable of running it, and getting the game into the hands of even more players means making more money, not to mention the many other Final Fantasy games that have come to Xbox over the course of a few years.

However, Square Enix and Sony have a particularly close working relationship. The Final Fantasy series is heavily associated with PlayStation due to so many rumors (like the original Final Fantasy VII) that it was released exclusively for PlayStation consoles. This has continued to this day, with Final Fantasy XVI so far only slated for a PS5 version.
