Square Enix plans a multiplatform release for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, targeting Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PC in 2025.
Square Enix aims to broaden the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth audience by launching it on additional platforms next year. This strategic shift follows the positive critical reception of FF VII Rebirth and aims to overcome previous platform exclusivity limitations.
Firstly, Square Enix is eyeing the Xbox Series X|S as the immediate next Final Fantasy VII Remake platform. Collaborations with Microsoft have already brought titles like Final Fantasy XIV and the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters to Xbox.
Additionally, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 presents a promising opportunity. Although Nintendo’s new console’s capabilities remain under wraps, industry experts anticipate it will seamlessly handle Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth’s demands.
Final Fantasy VII Shifting from Platform Exclusivity
Moreover, Square Enix is moving away from platform exclusivity due to rising development costs. Yoshinori Kitase, producer of FF VII Rebirth, confirmed that future games will adopt a multiplatform release strategy. This change ensures more players can enjoy the series, addressing previous sales shortfalls despite strong critical acclaim.
Furthermore, Square Enix is actively engaging with fans through surveys to shape the future of the Final Fantasy franchise. The company hopes to boost sales and expand its global reach by prioritizing multiplatform availability. The confirmed PC release for FF VII Rebirth in 2025 underscores this commitment, potentially paving the way for day-one PC launches for upcoming titles.
FF VII Rebirth’s expansion to Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, alongside its existing PC release, marks a significant milestone for Square Enix. This multiplatform approach not only broadens the game’s accessibility but also aligns with the evolving landscape of modern gaming.
