Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake reportedly heading to Xbox in 2025

Ever since Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced as a PS4 exclusive, there have been doubts around the future of mainline Final Fantasy games on Xbox. Final Fantasy 16 also skipped Xbox consoles at launch last year. We've heard rumours about both titles finally heading to Xbox over the past year, and it looks like an announcement is just around the corner. 

According to NateTheHate, someone who regularly shares leaks and rumours on social media, Final Fantasy 16 is going to release on Xbox in the first half of 2025. More specifically, it is scheduled for ‘Spring', which would place the launch anywhere between late March and late June.

As for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, that game is expected to land on Xbox in the second half of 2025, followed by Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in 2026.

Both Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were deemed as underwhelming sales-wise, in part thanks to the titles being exclusive to the PS5 at launch. Due to these lower-than-expected sales numbers, Square Enix has promised to reinvigorate its relationship with Microsoft and the Xbox team, and is focused on more multiplatform releases moving forward.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
