Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Xbox Series release confirmed for winter 2025

Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will launch on Xbox Series X|S consoles this winter.

PC players will also be able to purchase the game via the Microsoft Store at the same time.

This expansion marks the first time the critically acclaimed title will be available on an Xbox platform.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the enhanced version of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the initial installment in the multi-part remake of the original 1997 PlayStation game.

It first arrived on PlayStation 5 on June 10, 2021, followed by PC releases on the Epic Games Store (December 16, 2021) and Steam (June 17, 2022).

The game serves as a direct narrative precursor to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which is currently available on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Square Enix also has plans for a version of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on the unannounced “Switch 2” console, though a release window for that platform has not yet been provided.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade expands upon the initial entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake project by including an additional story arc that runs concurrently with the main game’s events.

Players step into the shoes of Cloud Strife, the iconic mercenary, as he joins the eco-terrorist group Avalanche in the dystopian city of Midgar.

The game allows players to experience the opening act of the original 1997 classic, forging alliances with memorable characters and delving into the complexities of Midgar’s oppressive regime.

The narrative culminates in a dramatic escape from the city, setting the stage for one of gaming’s most enduring stories.

The game has already shipped and sold over seven million copies digitally across PlayStation and PC platforms.

Its arrival on Xbox provides a fresh opportunity for a new audience to experience the title, which was recognized as The Game Awards RPG of the Year in 2020.

A new announcement trailer for the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions has been released.
