Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 are finally coming to Xbox

For years, we've been hearing rumours that Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be coming to Xbox. Today during the Xbox Games Showcase, Square Enix finally made the announcement and its not just Final Fantasy 7 Remake making the jump over to Xbox, Final Fantasy 16 is coming along too. 

Final Fantasy 7 Remake first released on PS4 back in 2018 and its PlayStation timed exclusivity was extended in 2020 with the game's release on PS5. The game landed on PC in 2021, and is now also available on Nintendo Switch 2 as of this week. Today, the game was also announced Xbox Series X/S consoles for the first time, with plans to release this winter:

On top of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the latest mainline game in the franchise, Final Fantasy 16, is also releasing on Xbox today:

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has not yet been confirmed for Xbox, but we expect that to change in the coming months. Both Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 failed to meet Square Enix's sales expectations as a PS5 exclusive, forcing the publisher to restructure itself for multiplatform development. Moving forward, Square Enix will be bringing its biggest games to multiple console platforms and PC at launch.

KitGuru Says: Both titles are also available through the Xbox PC app. A growing theme in the Xbox Games Showcase has been the number of third-party developers bringing their games to the Xbox PC store, and with initiatives like Play Anywhere in place, Microsoft will be looking to steal some market share from the likes of Steam and the Epic Games Store.
