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 Says: We can only hope that the third instalment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is in the works for multiple platforms on day-one, particularly for PC.
