Rumors claim Final Fantasy 7 Remake is not currently in the plans for Nintendo Switch 2 or Xbox [...]

Since its launch in 2020, Final Fantasy 7 Remake has stuck with PlayStation as a console exclusive. However, with it finally coming to PC in late 2021, many assumed that it was only a matter of time before Xbox Series X/S fans would also get access to FF7 Remake.

This rumor comes from notable insider NateDrake. As with any rumor or leak, you'll want to take this with a healthy dose of skepticism. That said, NateDrake does have a decent track record for this kind of thing, and Square Enix is keeping FF7R's sequel Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth exclusive to PlayStation, so it definitely wouldn't be a surprise to never see FF7R come to Xbox or Nintendo consoles.

In debunking rumors about third-party Switch 2 games, NateDrake said,"FF7 Remake is not a current plan. Could it happen, eventually? Sure. Is it an active plan at this moment? No. A Switch 2 release exists in the same way an Xbox release does. IF Square wants to do it, they can & will; but no such plan exists at the present." If that rumor turns out to be true, it doesn't get much more clear than that.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Release DateSpeaking of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Square Enix recently announced that it is on target to release on February 29, 2024, on PlayStation 5. Unfortunately for PC fans, it appears that you'll have to wait again before getting to play the game. Square has announced anything official regarding how long PC players will have to wait, but when the Rebirth release date was announced, its disclaimer did say it would only be exclusive for three months.

Like Remake, you'll primarily control Cloud Strife in Rebirth, as he and his party escape from Midgar following the events of the first game. Square has said that the world will be much more open this time around, opening up the opportunity to hop on a Chocobo to move around even quicker. Of course, it is worth remembering that this is just the second entry in what's going to eventually be a trilogy, so expect Square to hold a few things back.
