Everything points to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth taking its next big step. The game will arrive on Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 this summer, a move that fits with Square Enix’s recent strategy and information that has been circulating for weeks from well-known sources in the industry.

The release wouldn’t be casual or isolated. Following the recent arrival of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Xbox and Switch 2, the Japanese company appears to have decided to accelerate the deployment of the second chapter to take advantage of the good technical performance and commercial response obtained on both platforms. The idea is clear: to expand the audience and consolidate the remake as a true multi-platform experience.

A joint premiere on Xbox Series and Switch 2 that’s already a given

Recent reports indicate that Rebirth will be published simultaneously on Xbox Series and Switch 2 during the summer months, without temporary exclusivities between consoles. Although Square Enix has not yet set a specific date on the calendar, the release is already planned internally and the official announcement could happen at any moment.

This move also fits with the company’s long-term plans, which have already been confirmed on several occasions, that the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy will arrive complete on more platforms, including the upcoming Part 3. With Rebirth making the jump this summer, the stage is set for the saga’s conclusion to have a wider release from day one.

For Xbox and Switch 2 players, everything suggests that the wait is almost over. Square Enix seems ready to repeat the move… and this time, without leaving anyone out.
