Xbox Insider Says Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth Ports Coming

Summary

  • Xbox ports of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth are reportedly on the way, with an announcement set to take place during Xbox's upcoming Developer Direct.

  • Insider NateTheHate claims Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth is coming to Xbox in 2025 and 2026, as well as Nintendo Switch 2.

  • This has since been backed up by other notable Xbox insiders, and we at TheGamer can also confirm that we've heard similar.

For a while now, Xbox fans have had to put up with modern Final Fantasy games simply not coming to the system. Almost every major Final Fantasy game that has launched in the past five years has had PlayStation exclusivity, before eventually making the jump to PC a year or two later. But now that Square Enix has admitted that it can't continue to make its games exclusive, that could change very soon.

Ever since its change in leadership, and the revelation of disappointing sales for its major Final Fantasy titles, Square Enix has flirted with the idea of ​​more third-party releases. Now, a reliable insider named NateTheHate claims that Square Enix is ​​finally getting ready to release Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth on Xbox in the near future.

Xbox Insider Says Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth Ports Coming

In the latest episode of NateTheHate's podcast (where he also claims that Xbox titles like Halo: Master Chief Collection and Flight Simulator are coming to PS5), he talks about the mysterious game that Xbox is teasing for its Developer Direct. While there were suggestions it could be the rumored remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, NateTheHate believes that Square Enix will be there with some Final Fantasy games.

For starters, NateTheHate believes the mystery game will be a shadow drop of Final Fantasy 16, a title that also skipped Xbox at launch. After that, he believes that Square Enix will confirm that Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth will come to the console. He then goes one step further by claiming that Final Fantasy 7 Remake will launch on Xbox this year, while Rebirth will arrive in 2026.

“I can confirm that Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are coming to Xbox. Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be released in 2025. Rebirth will follow in 2026. These games will also be coming to Nintendo Switch 2.”

This claim has since been backed up by other reputable insiders, such as WindowsCentral reporter Jez Corden, and we at TheGamer can also confirm that we heard similar claims about Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth from our own sources. If all these claims are completely accurate, we should see a big show from Final Fantasy and Square Enix at the Xbox Developer Showcase.

As the party forces their way out of Midgar, leaving the Shinra Corporation devastated, where will their paths take them?
