The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 was a tantalizing arena for many major game announcements, one of the most noteworthy being Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade’s forthcoming release this winter on Xbox Series X|S and Windows/xBox PC platform.
Emanating from the gaming heart of the Square Enix Studios, Final Fantasy VII Remake produced its first wave on PlayStation 4 back in 2020. Following its successful launch, PlayStation 5 became host to an expanded version of this famous title which included the Episode Intermission expansion, introducing the character of Yuffie. This variant came under the label Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
Later, PC gamers were given the opportunity to engage with this expanded experience. The Epic Games Store facilitated an initial shift, followed by a release on the omnipresent gaming platform, Steam. To validate its flawless overlay and user experience, Valve’s handheld device, the Steam Deck, granted Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade its validation. Fans of Nintendo were also delighted to find that the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade was set for release on Nintendo Switch 2.
As we speak, PlayStation 5 and PC (through both Steam and Epic Games Store) platforms are gleaming with the active gaming experience of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. With its imminent launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S during the winter, anticipation mounts for gaming enthusiasts worldwide.
The Xbox Games Showcase bore witness to Square Enix’s undeviating strategy in widening their platforms, catering to Xbox fans by welcoming the complete mainline and single-player Final Fantasy releases. In addition, the much-lauded MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online is accessible now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC.
In the current lineup, Final Fantasy XVI launches digitally on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC, inclusive of enticing DLC chapters titled “Echoes of the Fallen” and “The Rising Tide”. This is available at a discounted price as a complete package or separately including the standalone base game, DLC chapters, along with the Final Fantasy XVI Expansion Pass.
Special in-game items, such as the Blood Sword, Braveheart Sword, Brave Blade, Cait Sith’s Charm, and the Sixteen Bells Orchestrion, come bundled with either edition.
Having the Xbox Play Anywhere feature expanded the gaming options, allowing players to enjoy a fully integrated cross-console, PC or cloud gaming experience with total cross-entitlement and cross-saving facilities.
The upcoming expanded version of the first Final Fantasy VII remake game, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, includes an extra storyline that unfolds concurrently with the main events. In this, players can re-experience the first chapter of the classic 1997 game from the perspective of the legendary hero, Cloud Strife, as he meets unforgettable allies and traverses the dystopian cityscape of Midgar. This thrilling tale, culminating in a dramatic escape, primes the stage for one of the most memorable narratives in video game history.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade’s release on an Xbox platform for the first time ever is a landmark event. With over seven million copies shipped and sold digitally globally on PlayStation and PC platforms, this latest version is a highly anticipated expansion that offers a new demographic of players the opportunity to embark on the 2020 The Game Awards RPG of the Year’s adventure.
With endless energy and Cutting-edge visuals, this game continues to enthral new and returning gamers alike, marking this expanded Xbox edition as an exciting new chapter in the story of Final Fantasy VII.
