Final Fantasy 16 gets a surprise Xbox release, with 7 Remake coming later this year

Marvelous news! After being exclusively playable on the PlayStation 5 for a span of two years, Final Fantasy 16 has now made its way to Xbox as well!

During the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, Square Enix unveiled that the release of the shock title would occur straight after the show on Xbox platforms. In a subsequent post on their website, Square Enix disclosed that this game was a Play Anywhere title, offering both standard and complete editions. The complete edition includes all previously released DLC for the game, which is accessible on Xbox right now.

Additionally, you can test out Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox Series X|S through a demonstration. This demo offers players a chance to play the prologue and engage in the initial Eikon battle, as well as a combat trial mode for additional scenarios. If you decide to buy the game later, your progress from the non-trial section of the demo will be transferred into the main game, making it worthwhile to explore beforehand if you’re keen on giving it a try.

Besides unexpectedly launching Final Fantasy 16, Square Enix has additionally disclosed plans to release Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on Xbox Series X|S later this year. The company mentioned that the game will be out during winter, which is approximately when the previously announced Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game might also be available, but they didn’t share any specific dates in their presentation or subsequent blog post.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to learn that “Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade” will follow in the footsteps of “Final Fantasy 16,” offering a Play Anywhere experience! This means that after I purchase this game from the Xbox store, I can enjoy it seamlessly on both my Xbox Series X|S and PC without the need for an additional purchase. What a fantastic way to ensure uninterrupted gaming fun across multiple platforms!
